Going to Ghana

Its been a year since I started my application with the Peace Corps. An interview, a polio shot, several aggravating calls, and twelve months later I have been invited to go to another country! All I have to say is WoOt!!!

As of June I will be in Ghana (actual city yet to be determined). I will be working with the Health/Water and Sanitation Program as a Health/Water and Sanitation Educator. From my understanding this could mean anything from digging wells to water purification (guinea worm yuck) to teaching about hygiene to actually being in an HIV/AIDS program.

I am really excited and freaked out at the same time. There is so much to do and so little time to do it in. I have never been much of a blogger but I am going to try to keep this up. I have a strange feeling that this might be one of the few, if not easiest method, of keeping people updated and sharing some of the amazing pictures I plan on taking.

My address during my 3 month training in Ghana is:

Catherine Durham, PCT

P.O. Box 5796
Accra-North, Ghana
