Staging

Hello friends,

I feel very fortunate to have had lots of support and interest in my upcoming adventure.
Tomorrow I leave for a short staging period in Philadelphia where I expect to sign papers and obtain more information about our service in Botswana. I will also meet the 60 other people going to Botswana.

On April 18th we leave for Botswana via South African Airlines flying from New York to Dakar, Senegal, and then on to Johannesburg, South Africa. Get out your maps folks. We then bus to Gaborone, the capital of Botswana. We are only there a few days and then will begin a three month training in a town an hour outside of the city. These are exciting times. During the training I hope to learn Setswana every morning. I will also be staying with a host family during this time. It should help my total immersion with the language.

Now I have to finish packing and get out the door!

Feel free to ask questions. Also, tell me what you know about Botswana and Africa. I have lots to learn. I may not know the answers. Perhaps I can find them out and we can share as my experience and knowledge increases.

So see you on line. I hope to get photos up eventually.

Molly
