The program I have been assigned to is Education. And my job title is ICT Specialist, Teacher. It stands for Information and Communication Technology. So that means I will be broadening people's technology skills. Amazing! I will be teaching either at a high school or a college. I was also told that some people have never even used a computer, so I would need to start at that level. It will definitely be a cultural change since this country is massive in the technology department. But I'm am still excited nonetheless!!! :-)My staging dates (which is basically an orientation period in the states with fellow volunteers) are June 4th-6th, 2012.
My pre-service training in Ghana is from June 6th-August 15th, 2012. During this pre-service training (PST), I will live with a host family, learn a new language, and become more accustomed to the culture and the community that I live in.
My official dates of service are August 15th, 2012-August 15th, 2014. :-) :-) :-)
I went around all day on Friday (November 4th) saying "I LEAVE IN 7 MONTHS!!". It's just so amazing that I can actually say that, and I am actually going!! I can't get over this excitement!!!

| I uploaded this picture to show that at the bottom of my assignment sheet, there is a giant tear drop! Yes...I bawled my eyes out. Out of pure happiness and joy of course. And yes...I took a picture. I wanted to document it for some reason. :-) |
