After much waiting in anticipation, we recieved our Peace Corps invite to serve in Zambia. Specifically, we'll be working in one of five provinces that our program works within. The first few months will be spent in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, during this time we will be living with a host family and recieve our language, cultural, and project training. We were very excited to learn that we both will be working on a project titled 'LIFE' which stands for "Linking Income, Food, and the Environment" in the fields of forestry and agriculture. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to train together during the first 3 months. After our training period, we will be stationed to a village for the remainder of our two years in Africa. We still have much to learn, and will try our best to keep you all updated along the way. We hope to hear how you are doing and stay updated on your lives as well, so please write!
We are putting this blog together in hopes of staying in touch and giving you all updates on what we're up to. We look forward to sharing our adventure with you all!
