Ok so yesterday was a very big day for us in the Youth Development and the Community Economic Development sectors since we found out where we will be spending the next two years and what organizations we will be working for. Unfortunately, for security reasons I can not disclose my towns name. However, I can say it is a large city, with constant electricity and running water. I will be working with a youth leadership organization that helps to positively impact young men and women by helping to improve their english and leadership skills. The organization aims to help students participate in study abroad programs. I'm very excited that I will be working directly with youth!
I also will have fellow volunteers in my community ("site mates") so I won't be too terribly home sick... except for mom's cooking :)
I posted a few pictures up on my myspace and facebook sites for those of you who want to see what it looks like here. Message me if you need to be added as a friend to gain access to the photos.
