Our First Post

We just created this blog so that we can update our family and friends of our adventures in Paraguay. Right now we are counting down the days until we leave....58. We are very eager to become Peace Corps volunteers. February cannot come any sooner.



This is all we know about our duties so far:

-Joe will be a Rural Health and Sanitation Extensionist.

-Kendra will be working in the schools as a Early Elementary Education Advisor.

-We will have to learn two languages: Spanish and Guarani.

-February 2 we leave for Miami where we meet more volunteers going to Paraguay. From Miami we will travel to Paraguay. For the first three months we will be training and living with a host family. Training includes language learning, safety procedures, cultural lessons, and technical skills needed for our jobs. After training we will be sworn in as volunteers. We will most likely live in a rural area where we will be for two years.

We will try to keep you posted as much as possible!
