Yesterday, September 2nd, I became an official
PCV (Peace Corps Volunteer). 730
days to go.
For logistical reasons, immediately
after the swearing-in ceremony in the province of Mpumalanga, I and four other volunteers who will live nearby, hopped on the Peace Corps van with
all of our luggage to head to our new homes in the province of Kwa-Zulu Natal
(KZN). For the next two years I
will be living in a very rural area (no electricity, no running water) where
everyone speaks Zulu…and not a whole lot of English! Time to see if all that studying really worked. So far, the little that I have seen of
the area is stunning – natural beauty is abundant in this part of the
world. Tonight I meet my new host
family for the first time, and I begin the real adventure of being on my own in
a new world.
