Just an update. I have no idea when I'm leaving for Africa and no idea where I'm going.
Originally, the peace corps asked if i wanted to leave early (June 4) I said yes. However, the peace corps is always changing and they then asked me to do several more medical evaluations. So, I have no clue, I'm guessing July, which was the original time line.
Anyway, I've rented my home beginning June 1, so I will be moving out next weekend and I don't know the particulars about where I'll be staying. I'm still working with VOA, which I love and plan to continue until I leave.

For Family and Friends
At the request of my loved ones (namely John Bisone), I have a paypal account that you can send money to for Birthdays or Christmas or in case of an emergency. Please be mindful that I do not really need anything, that US dollars go a very long way in Ghana and I am trying to live a modest life below my means.
