Hello everyone!
This will hopefully be the first of many blogs documenting my time with the Peace Corps in Mali. I'll be leaving July 2nd along with a training class of about 80 other people for Bamako. Together we'll spend two months in training where we'll be learning a local language, health and safety techniques and and other skills needed for daily living. I plan to spend my last few days stateside with friends and family at home in beautiful Seattle. I'm excited but also so anxious and ready for the adventure to begin!
