And the placement hat says…

October 15, 2014

My stage has both health volunteers and agribusiness volunteers. We occasionally share trainings but for the most part our trainings are in separate sites on different topics. Our site announcements were also going to be separate. However the AG trainees decided to have a “posting hat” (like the sorting hat from Harry Potter) and we health volunteers just had to be involved. The different regions were even posted around the room so you could go there and join others from your region after your post was announced. Somebody even wrote up a fantastic sorting hat song.
I am pleased to announce (if you haven’t seen it already) that I will be posted in Nyambaka, Adamoua/Adamawa. This is the same site I visited, which is not typical. I’m pretty sure I am the only volunteer from my stage to be posted at the same site they visited. To say I am thrilled would be an understatement. I would have been happy with any region of Cameroon but I honestly feel my personality will work very well with the culture in Nyambaka plus I’m so excited to learn Fulfulde among many other things that I think will suit me well in the area. Knowing where I will be living and what my house will look like makes the next two years seem even more real and exciting. I also know that I have some super awesome people who will be living in my region, both from my stage and earlier stages.
Still no Ebola in Cameroon fyi. (Yes, that does mean there have been more cases of Ebola in the US than in Cameroon.) My personal health has been good overall. I am currently fighting a cold. As a result I did have an episode yesterday and one today. But I’m going to try and not make it three days in a row tomorrow. I bid you all good night!
Three thoughts:
1.       I know my post!!!!!
2.       Nyambaka!!!!!

3.       I would much rather sleep than do my homework.
