Today was a very exciting day: we found out the sites where
we will be spending or 2 years of service!!!
Some people were nervous, but everyone was excited this morning when we
got on the bus to go to Clayton. It was
cool because all the regional leaders were there to kind of welcome us to the
province.
My site will be (drumroll please)…Potrerillos Abajo, Chiriquí. It is about one hour north of David, the
provincial capital. It is also about an
hour away from Volcán-the
volcano you can hike to see both the Caribbean and the Pacific at the same
time!! I’m super excited that it is in the foothills of the mountains, so
presumably cooler that where I currently am (J). My school
has approximately 225 students and 1 English teacher. The area has a mix of indigenous and
Hispanic, so maybe I will even get the chance to pick up another language!
I think pretty much everyone was excited about their site-or
at least excited to know where it is and a little about it. Now all we have to do is wait 2 weeks to meet
our counterpart (the person from the town with whom we will be working most
closely), and to actually go and see it.
I for sure can’t wait!
