Little Update

Well isn't today just the day of information!

I got an e-mail from Cali today 1/2way imploring me to get online. Obviously she had some PC news. She called IAP today to see if she could get any e-mails from others going to Guatemala since she has found absolutely no one else. Poor girl! Somewhere in her brilliant mind, she thought to ask what other programs are being sent to Guatemala this time around. They said the 2 programs are Municipal Development and Sustainable Agriculture. 

So looks like I most likely won't be heading to Guatemala either. Belize still seems to be the most likely option, always has. At the same time it looks more likely that I have the potential of being pushed back to September. The options there are Peru, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. I'd love any of those countries. I'm pretty sure all those have Youth programs, thought I'm not sure which are sending Youth there this time around.

Suppose you'll have to stay tuned to find out the glorious invitation information! (which by the way, I'm not too much closer, but am a little closer, to obtaining!)

Youth Dev.

Wow, just after all that thinking about Spanish and Youth and trying to come up with a country, someone who is a trainee in Guatemala left a message on peacecorps2 about being a Youth Development trainee in Guatemala, and that there are about 15 other Youth Dev trainees with him. That's exciting because it opens up Guatemala in addition to Belize--I previously didn't think Guatemala did Youth, but it might be new? All I know now is that Guatemala and Belize both do Youth Development! So YIKES! Who knows where I'll end up! I'd be happy with either!

Update: Yes, he e-mailed me and the Youth program in Guatemala only began this year, it sounds like he is the first or 2nd group to be doing it. That would explain why I hadn't heard of it! That'd be exciting to be working in the beginning of a new program, I'm sure harder than an established one, but exciting all the same!
