My tropical isle will have to wait but....

I received my invitation today and I will be going to Guyana!! which is really way too cool. I will leave home on May 31st for Miami where I will spend 2 days getting shots and information about the country and volunteer safety, etc. Then on June 2nd it's off to South America!!

My job title is Community Education Promoter and I will be assisting in implementing IT education in schools and communities. This may be teaching in secondary schools, helping set up new computer labs, or working with community organizations. I won't know that until I get there, but it is all computer related and that is what I wanted.

When we get to Guyana we will be staying in or near Georgetown during our two months of training, and then we will be assigned our permanent sites and will be sworn in as volunteers. That is when our 2-year stint actually begins, so I will be gone until July 28, 2008.
