More excitement to come

Hey all,

This is the future site of my upcoming adventures in The Gambia. This blog is for my friends and family to check my progress, read my stories, etc, but I fully recognize that it is open to the public and could be accessed by anyone.
So let me explain. On November 5, 2008, I will be leaving to serve in The Gambia for a US-based volunteer organization (am I even allowed to say the name of the organization? I just figured maybe I'm not allowed to, since I might do something dumb, then write about it on here, and then my name would be associated with this highly recognizable volunteer organization). Anyhoo, I'll be working in the health sector, but I have no idea where in the country, or to which project in particular I will be assigned.
My goal for this blog is to write honestly about what I am thinking, feeling, and experiencing. I write how I speak/think, so it may not always be professional, but hopefully will have an element of my voice.

Thats that. I promise the next entry will be from Gambia.
