It's been just over a week now since I received my invitation and it's been quite a week as a result. I called last Friday to accept my posting and now am working on all of the paperwork and organizing needed to get myself ready for July. One of these organizational 'tasks' is this blog. With an expected loss of internet access when I arrive in Africa, I won't have the ability to write and respond to e-mail as much as I would like so having a site where I can post seems essential. I hope to write a couple times a month but who knows what'll happen. A common theme to this entire experience.
In the giant blue velcroed folder the Peace Corps sent me I received this:
Your Assignment: Mali

Job Title: Agricultural Extension Agent, Community Development Agent

Other than a few facts here and there and an attempt to learn both French and Bambara (the native language of much of the Malian population), this is all I can know for sure.
