Peace Corps Assignment Info

Ok ok, so I guess not everyone knows about the Peace Corps and what I'm doing, so here's the deal: I applied for the Peace Corps my senior year at Carnegie Mellon University and was nominated after graduation. The application process took a while so I started taking classes at Cornell for a year and I'm finishing a Master's of Engineering. I was invited to be a primary teacher trainer in Uganda, and I am hoping to also do some kind of environmental/conservation work or study during my assignment. My primary assignment consists of helping administration, strengthening community, student and parent relations, and helping monitor, evaluate and train teachers. I think of myself as becoming a sort of roaming principle to a few local primary schools.
So I go to Boston for staging (orientation) on Thursday, March 2nd, 2006 and actually leave for Uganda on Sunday, March 5th, 2006. While in Boston, I will be attending a reception for the 45th year anniversary of the Peace Corps at the Kennedy library. Once in Uganda, a group of other Peace Corps volunteers assigned to Uganda and I will stay in Mityana for 3 months for culture, language, and project training. Mityana is about 30 miles northwest of the capital, Kampala. I don't know where I will be after training, but my address while I'm in training will be:

Allison Muehe, PCT
PO Box 29348
Kampala, Uganda

Unfortunately, packages can take a long time, like a month or two, but a good thing to do would be to put "Airmail" or "Par Avion" if you send a letter. I will get a cell phone once I get there and I will let everyone know what the number is.

So yes, if you want any more than this basic info just please email me. Thanks buddies!
