Here's the plan:

My Global Service Corps assignment begins on November 9th, and ends on April 11th of next year. My flight to Tanzania will leave on the 4th. The first few weeks will be training/orientation, and after that I will be living with a local family, and traveling to various places for work. I will mostly be teaching students about HIV/AIDS, and training farmers in methods of sustainable agriculture. Also, I will be volunteering in orphanages, hospitals, and wherever else they may need me.
In my down time, I think I might teach myself how to play harmonica, and write letters home. So give me your addresses! Of course, the occasional safari and perhaps a Kilimanjaro climb are in my future as well (Smiley face).


If you want to learn more about the organization, you can ask me anything, or check out their website, www.globalservicecorps.org

.
Also, GSC has a blog at http://gsctz.wordpress.com/

I'll be far from home, and I know I will miss you all, but I truly believe that this what I need and the best thing for me to do right now. I will have access to email/Facebook/life, and possibly even an international cellphone.

It's time for something to happen.
