Hi all. It has been a while since i last wrote but some no developments has happened. I will not be going to El Salvador in July. With the new budget cuts Peace Corps cut my assignment from El Salvador. The new replacement is now a combined assignment of Youth Development with an environmental focus. This is not what i am interested in but i was willing to take a look at it and keep an open mind. Peace Corps said that they would send me information about my new assignment and if i would want to do it.
I never got anything. Instead i got a call today saying that i didn't sound to thrilled about the new assignment and that they were offering me a new place. They told me that they offered my the other assignment thinking that i would not want to change so drastically and stick with what i had. They saw that they were wrong and offered me Nicaragua leaving on Aug. 30. I would be doing the same sort of work as in El Salvador Environmental Education with a deforestation focus. I would be working with three or so rural school and the communities. This is a bit later that i would have liked but that's life. Now i would get to get some summer jobs before i go.
I think this all happened for a reason and that it will all work out wonderfully in the end. Peace Corps has been great throughout the whole thing. They understood how frustrated i have been and was willing to work with my as well as apologized a lot. So, so long until later. Nicaragua here i come! Can't wait to see you Allison.
