Our assignment and staging dates (Christy)
Program: Community Based Natural Resource Project
Job Title: Environmental Village Extension Volunteer
What does this mean? We'll have a much better idea in a few months. James and I have both been given this same assignment. From the descriptions we've seen so far, it can involve a whole range of projects related to agriculture and environmental education (as well as girls empowerment and AIDS education), the success of which will depend on how well we can integrate into our particular village. Thank goodness for the 2 month training period.
We finally received our staging packet, which reveals the following schedule:
DFW to Philadelphia Monday morning June 12 for registration, training, and vaccinations.
(Hey Bryn Mawr people, if you'll be there and want to try to see us for lunch or something, let us know!)
Arrive in Tanzania on June 15. Exciting!

Christy, sorry I didn't get a chance to tell you one last goodbye and "I love you" before you and James headed out this morning. I'm so excited for you, and don't worry, I will send mail! Hopefully most of it will get to you :)
James and Christi,
I am reading your e-mails and enjoying everyone of them. Your Dad is forwarding them to us. I can hardly wait until you are "where ya gonna be" for a while. Remember: every morning when I drink my coffee I think of you guys and wonder what your day will be like. Take care of each other. Love Sandy
Christy, I had a dream about you last night. You were a rock star and were at some college campus making a music video, and I recognized you and was like "Whoa! What are you doing??!!" And then you took me to dinner. Ok that's all.
hey, I had a dream about you too, Christy! I visited you in Tanzania and it turns out you run a grocery store there. You got mad at me for eating the grapes because the villagers need them :)
Hi, Christy & James. I had a dream about you, too. I was at the airport with all your family members and friends. We were waiting at the gate to say hello to you after you got off the plane that took you from Tanzania to Texas. It was a VERY good dream. You were glad to be home. Love, Momma Robyn
