I am still waiting to hear from Peace Corps Placement Office about what community and what country I will be assigned. I know that I am leaving between the dates of July 4-15, 2006 but still have no inlking of where in the gigantic continenet of Africa I will be living for two years. Kind of makes it hard to plan. Will let you all know when I know!
