End of April departures!

I feel like I just posted the early April departures, time is going so fast! Jovanka B. actually left yesterday, sorry about my late-ness! Hope Romania is fabulous :) Then we have three more departures to round up the end of the month - Susan B. is off to Georgia, Rachel F. heads to Panama and Danielle S. is Guatemala-bound. Fly safe everyone. (Side note: if everyone could check their departure dates on the spreadsheet to make sure they're accurate, that'd be great. Just want to get everyone correctly)

In other news, my blog reading tells me that Liz S. in Uganda, the Strix in Ecuador, and Jessica H. in Zambia all swore in as Volunteers recently. Congrats!

Volume III in Kazakhstan!

Volume III has finally made it to me in the lovely steppe of Kazakhstan!

Volume II is on its way to Nicaragua!

Our first entry (Strix) has been lovely and posted the journal this morning to Lauren in Nicaragua!

hello and goodbye

As Kim mentioned in her last post, she's off in the Ukraine learning how to be an awesome PCV so I (Ashley - Mongolia) volunteered to help her out with the bios and departures. Speaking of which, if any of you haven't sent in your bios and want them up, send them to me! My email is on the spreadsheet Kim sent out and you know you want to be up there. Also if you set up a blog and it's not on the list on the left yet, send that to me too!

Now that March is coming to an end, it's time for early April departures! There are two during the first week or so - Tracy M. heads off to Botswana and Angela W. leaves for Indonesia. Good luck ladies!

Volume II has arrived in Ecuador!

Quick update for Volume II, Strix received the journal today! Next stop: Nicaragua!

Bye guys!

I am off to Ukraine this week, but we also have a few other people leaving too!
Laritza is leaving for Belize, Judson is going off to Kyrgyz Republic, and Danielle V. will being headed to Bulgaria at the start of next week!

I have been slacking in the Mini Bio department of this blog and I think I have 2 or 3 that need to be put up.  If anyone would like to take charge of the blog and post about who is leaving each week and finish up the bios, I would appreciate it! Keep in mind that the Edit Pages button for that page won't let you copy and paste then format, so it must be done in Internet Explorer (ew) and typed out so that the font works out!  If you are interested, please e-mail me soon and I will forward you the bio info!

Journal Status: SENT!

So I sent out the final 3 journals today.  One is one its way to Strix in Ecuador, another is heading to Emily J. in Kazakhstan, and the other one is going to be hanging out with Jessica W. until she leaves for service in Moldova.

It was my first time sending something internationally, so that was interesting having to fill out little custom sheets! Hopefully the international ones will get there in the 6-10 business day times frame that the priority mail said it would take; we'll see!
