I've finally been given my Peace Corps assignment after over a year of the application process and waiting! I leave for Cameroon as a secondary science teacher on June 2, 2010. I have no idea what part of the country I will be in but have heard that Cameroon is one of the most geographically diverse countries in Africa and has regions of desert, mountains, rain forest, and savanna.
Right now I'm ridding myself of all my lingering material possessions and am so excited to have my life packed into the three pieces of baggage I can take with me!
