Woohoo! I've been accepted into the Peace Corps, for one of these five programs (in order of my first choice ranking to my fifth). If I end up invited into one of the following departing in 2008, I'm planning a mental-health hiatus back to Buenos Aires from September to February to "kill time"...
Option 1
Program: NGO Development
Region: Eastern Europe
Description: Volunteers work with NGOs and municipal governments to provide support in organizational development. Strong applicants will have previous experience working with NGO, experience in proposal writing, fundraising, strategic planning and/or organizational development.
Date of Departure: late September 2007
Option 2
NOTE: There is only one program for North Africa/Middle East which you could qualify for. It is a Health Education program, departing in March 2008. At this time you do not qualify for a Health Education program. In order to qualify, you will need to set-up some volunteer work with a health or HIV/AIDS organization. If you do so, we can consider you for this program.
Option 3
Program: Community Development
Region: Central/South America (Spanish-speaking)
Description: Municipal development assignment
Date of Departure: June 2008
Option 4
Program: Community Development
Region: French-speaking Africa
Description: Small Business Development based community development program
Date of Departure: Early June 2008
Option 5
Program: Community Development
Region: Africa
Description: Health based community development program
Date of Departure: May 2008
Also, I've added some photos of my last week's visit to Philadelphia/New Jersey. One is of my brother and I, and the other was taken behind the Philadelphia Art Museum, a breathtaking view high up from a gazebo. Now that I'm graduating, there is nothing I fixate on more these days than exactly where life will be taking me next...
