Hello everyone! Thanks for tuning in.
This is going to be our lame attempt to keep you updated on what we are doing. For those of you who do not know, we are heading to the Peace Corps in Mali. Our tour will be 27 months. We go to Philadelphia on the 7th of July and off to Mali on the 9th. We will be in training for nine weeks before we start our placement, which will last for two years. We are scheduled to return on the 12th of September, 2010. Good times.
Sam is supposed to be working in the small business enterprise field and Mark will be on Water and Sanitation projects. You now have pretty much the same information as we do on that front.
We are quite excited about this adventure, although it can be hard to get too excited with all the pre-trip preparations. We are both ready to stop packing and start training.
Please, if you would like, periodically check in at this website to see if we have it updated. How often that will happen is any one's guess at this point. We are thinking somewhere between everyday and twice a year.
Please leave messages for us along the way too. We know that life will not stand still awaiting our return so we'd love to hear how everyone is doing. Good luck to all in the next few years. May they be happy and healthy!
