Off to Togo in about a month!
Joe and I leave for Philadelphia for our orientation on June 4, 2008, and from there we'll be off to Togo. We're told that after a few days in the capital city of Lome, we'll be heading to the Agou region southeast of Kpalime for our 11-week training. Our assignment locations after training are TBD for now.
Joe will be training for the Small Business Development program, and I will be a Health Extension Agent in the AIDS/HIV education program (otherwise known as a CHAP volunteer).
More to come soon!
