Alright folks! We are making progress! I just received my nomination letter. I have been nominated for Sub-Saharan Africa in the Secondary Education Science Teaching Program and will be leaving June 2013 (tentatively). Whew! Let the research begin!
I have found out that there are approximately 27 countries that have open Peace Corps programs and approximately 80 languages are spoken amongst those countries! Yikes! It's so exhilarating to think this time next year I will overseas on a new adventure. Bring it on and it's on like donkey kong! I am still in that whole ignorant stage but I am totally eager to learn and prepare myself as much as possible. Next step = medical mumbo jumbo (I will spare you the details because the list is long and tedious!).
In other news, things at the Boys & Girls Club are going great. We are getting ready to finish up our summer camp and then head back into after school programs. My Mad Science Thursdays have been going great and the kids get pretty excited to see what I have up my sleeve. We released our first edition of our Ninja News Newsletter. Photos and stories were taken and written by myself and a group of club members. I am so proud of their enthusiasm and hard work. We will be releasing our next edition August 3rd. This edition will wrap up our summer camp program. I plan on continuing the newsletter into the school year.
I have started my theme song playlist and on it so far:
Africa by Toto
Hakuna Matata by Timon, Pumba and Simba
I Like to Move It Move It by King Julian
More is yet to come!
