"Life in the Peace Corps will not be easy. There will be no salary and allowances will be at a level sufficient only to maintain health and meet basic needs. Men and women will be expected to work and live alongside the nationals of the country in which they are stationed—doing the same work, eating the same food, talking the same language.

But if the life will not be easy, it will be rich and satisfying. For every young American who participates in the Peace Corps—who works in a foreign land—will know that he or she is sharing in the great common task of bringing to man that decent way of life which is the foundation of freedom and a condition of peace."

Under review!

Wow, about time! Upon returning from from Alaska and the Rockies in September, I found out that I was nominated for a agroforestry program in Africa (over 6months after my application submission, interview, background check, etc). However, this only meant that I needed to submit medical and dental forms in order to be under official review. After being officially reviewed, I would be eligble to be invited to the program that I am nominated for. Fortunately I had a lot of time to get this part of the application done! I had to go onto the doctor several times in order for the forms to be completed properly. As of today, another three months later, I am officially under review! This comes as such as relief because I am leaving for New Zealand and Australia in just two weeks!
