Last week of training

Here I am completing my last week of training. I cannot believe 10 weeks has gone by. Next week I will be heading back to Maputo for our swear-in ceremony and I will officially become Peace Corps Volunteer. And the 2 years countdown will start on this day. I am extremely excited to finish training and finally get to my site.

This training was intense challenging, long very helpful, confusing. It was a very structured and dense schedule that I had very little time for myself. The huge benefits tha I received is to be able to communicate in Portuguese. As of now I am able to have a basic conversation and yet talk about more complicated topics. I also learned a lot about health and nutrition. I have been well treated by my host family and learned local cuisines. After that, I am finally ready to step in. Next week I will move to Chokwe, move into my house and I’ll have to buy all the appliances since I am opening the site. I am looking forward for this opportunity that is coming up for me and I am staying positive all the way. J
