What to Expect

For My First 2 Months in Country...

Here is what to expect:

The first 2-3 days in El Salvador are going to be very hectic for me. It will be difficult to contact home during these few days, so please do not worry if you do not hear from me! On Friday I will move in with my host family and am unsure of the community I will be living in. For these reasons, I am still unsure of my contact with home.

However, the training center is supposed to have some internet and cell phone service. I will be at the training center 1-2 a week, which is located about 30mins from San Salvador, the capital city. The rest of the time is spent in my host family community, learning Spanish and the Salvadoran culture. Oh yea, and how to take a bucket bath...and actually get clean. Training is the first 8 weeks or so in country, M-F 8am-5pm and Sat 8-12pm. Plus some field trips. So understand, I will be busy at first!

I hope to purchase a cell phone a few weeks into training so that you guys can call/text me. I will message that info. Also, will try to get to the internet as much as possible.

Also FYI, for security reasons, I am not supposed to post specifics about my location, etc.

Please post comments on what you would like to hear about in my blog entries next week!
