It's time to head to Panama. I'll no longer be a PCV in the DR, now I'm an PCRV in Panama! How do you like them acronyms? Stay along for the ride - I'd love to have you follow my Peace Corps Response work in Panama until September 2016. UEPA!
Things I'm nervous about:
1) My Dominican accent, will anyone understand me?
2) Not having the right clothes. Last time when I touched down in the DR, I had enough clothes to last me on a 2 year camping trip, and quickly realized, it's tight and bright and fashionable, not camping.
3) Starting over and mentally being prepared to live abroad again for another year.
Things I'm excited about:
1) Working with a medical organization to develop a community health worker training.
2) Seeing how Peace Corps works in another country and putting another piece of my international development puzzle together - how does the world and its complexities fit together?
3) Living on a chain of islands in Panama, cuz DUH!
