To everyone showing up to read my blog: Welcome, and thank you! Clicking on my link tells me you want to stay updated with the mountains and valleys of moving to Zambia with the Peace Corps. In a little less than a month, I will be serving as a Maternal and Child Promoter, which as many of you know, is a dream career for me.
All of this is really a dream come true: joining the Peace Corps, being given the opportunity to empower a community, getting to learn how others live, and focusing in on women’s health. It still feels so surreal, but now that my flights are booked, the plans are made, and the gear is purchased, this dream is quickly becoming a reality!
Keeping this blog is my attempt at keeping you all updated on my new life in Zambia! I strive to be transparent and honest about my experiences (the beautiful ones and the not-so-beautiful ones), to post when I can, and to give everybody the peace of mind that I am alive and well. I’m no blogger, so please bear with me as I figure out this platform. Thanks to all of you for choosing to walk beside me on this journey; I can’t wait to share it all with you!
