*Not to be confused w/ Mr. Perkins book: he stole that from me by the way. I should've TM'd that sh$%...
Alright, so my official title is "Economic Development Volunteer", which sounds semi-, well let's just say it ain't my forte. The PC has assured me, however, that I am doing Water Sanitation, working with a host organization (non-profit NGO or a governmental org.) where my primary duties lie with the community to "develop, improve, maintain, and protect water resources". I also get the opportunity to chose a secondary project which will most likely go the HIV/AIDS outreach, or any other subject which the people who will welcome me into their lives wish to focus on.
If you all are interested in more, I will soon have a link up that will lead you to my assignment booklet, that provides all of the more personal detail to what I can expect to experience. For now, here is a link to the Peace Corps Uganda Welcome Book.*

*proceed with caution. This baby is a book weighing in at 95 pages, and taking you through twists and turns of emotion such as: fear, excitement, worry, happiness, etc.
Shout-Out to my boo, Jon Moody. Not one hour ago did he inform me that the AmeriCorps has accepted him into their ranks. So far, he is headed to Maryland, which could serve as his home base, as he travels around the country (mainly the Gulf Coast,I've heard) doing volunteer work. Cheers, lova!

This must be the best blog I've ever seen. I don't know about the title though, I'm pretty sure mr. Perkins book has been around a little longer. Good news about that Jon fellow, sounds like a stand up citizen.
Congrats again on being invited. Love you
