The End of Training Draws Near

The last few weeks have certainly been an adventure.  Between model school, our field trip to the Gambian Teachers' College in Jan Jan Bureh, my successful recovery from dysentery (check that off the bucket list), and my three day site visit to Seno Bajonki (where I will live during my two years of service) I have had a full schedule.  This upcoming week I will have my final language test, which I am confident I will pass at the intermediate high level, as well as the marathon march through the bush before I leave next Sunday for Kombo  in preparation for my swear-in on August 12th as an official Peace Corps Volunteer.  The pictures below are of some of my family members of whom I have been living with during training.  Happily I will not be moving far (only 4 kilometers), so I will be able to see them through out my service.  Wishing you all the best wherever you are reading this.
