The Beginning

Hello to Family, Friends, and Random People,

I have to decided to keep in touch with everybody through this blog as well as MySpace.
Well it all started back in April '06 when I realized that I might actually graduate college in the next semester.  I had temporally forgotten what is was I had wanted to do. Then It came to me, Join the Peace Corps. This decision was an easy one to make, since I have been in Dallas, Texas for the last 22 years of my life and I am soooo ready to leave. So, I started the application on-line and I think it took me about 2 months to actually finish it. About 2 weeks later, I went in for an Interview, which I bombed. But she nominated me anyway. So Here I am today, going to Malawi, Africa on February 25, 2007. My assignment is in the Environment Program and my Job Title is Community Natural Resource Management/Forestry Extension. Training is from March 1- April 27, 2007 and my Dates of Service are April 27, 2007 - April 26, 2009. Until I leave I will be working a lot and probably travel to Peru and Chile. For Future Reference My address will be:

Jamie,

So apparently we are in the same boat. I am also in the Environmental Group set to go to Malawi on Feb 25.

I too have a blog (how predictable is our generation?) http://peacecorpskevin.blogspot.com

Should be quite an adventure...

Take care,

Kevin

My son Mark is in a health care group that left for Malawi May 29. He is in training in Dedze. We lived in Dallas for 14 years and he is a graduate of JJ Pearce HS. Just curious as to where you grew up in Dallas. He is still in training and does not have a cell yet. His blog is www.markisinmalawi.blogspot.com.
Hope you are having a blst in Malawi! Kathy Perlman
