As for our jobs while we're there. I'm going to be a Health/Water and Sanitation Educator, which I'm really excited about. I'll be able to educate people on their health and hopefully help with waterborne illnesses and how to prevent them. I'll also most likely be doing significant HIV/AIDS education while I'm there as well. JB will be teaching science at the secondary level. He's also very excited to be able to get students to understand and become excited or at least interested in sciences and help set them up for higher education.
Right now we're both just trying to figure out the timeline from now until June 1st. There's just so much that needs to be done and we want to plan everything out so that it flows smoothly. Currently we're preparing to get rid of most of our possessions, either by giving them to friends or the goodwill. Also the matter of selling our cars. So I think we'll be pretty busy for the next 2 months just trying to get everything in order.
We're both looking forward to living in Ghana. It was definitely on my "must see" list, but now I get to live there, which is even better. The Peace Corps program there is also suppose to be great. Ghana was the first country where the Peace Corps were set up, so it's the longest lasting relationship they have with a country. Meaning there are a lot of positive relationships between the government and the volunteers, as well as a great support network to rely on. The people of Ghana are renowned for being very friendly and welcoming. It's going to be a great future for the next few years. I'm sure there are going to be a lot of challenges thrown in there, but it's going to be greatly rewarding as well.
So, Whoo Hoo for Ghana!! Here we come!
