However, planning for my big move is now in full gear and that means creating a blog, as promised. I am also selling all my furniture, paring down the clothes and knickknacks to bare essentials, and borrowing storage space at my parents' house for all the winter gear.
I hope that this blog will be a good way for me to post pictures and stories about my trip, since the time difference is going to make phone calls very challenging, (Botswana is 6 hours ahead of EST). Also it will be a place where you all can keep in touch and keep me updated on your lives as I will likely need stories from the homeland every once in awhile ;)
Here is a map of Southern Africa, for all those wondering where exactly Botswana is!
I will be working with the Pediatric AIDS Corps, a program based out of Baylor College of Medicine. So first stop is Houston, Texas for some more training. I leave for Houston July 12th and for Botswana on July 27th.
