More Peace Corps News....

More News....

I posted a message on a PC yahoo message board asking how I could find out who my PO is. I received the following message from a PC campus recruiter:

"When you were nominated did you receive a sheet called “key points to remember’ or something similar? It should have had your placement officer’s name and number/email. There has been a bunch of new placement officers recently so you might have a new placement officer. The number for the Africa placement office is 1-800-424-8580 Option 2, ext. 1850 though I would try to wait a few days at the least for them to follow up with you, though I know you are probably bursting to hear some news."

So, of course I called the Africa placement office. The guy who answered the phone wouldn’t tell me who my PO is, but said he would answer any questions I might have. So, I asked him if I was going to a French speaking region in Africa. He said that I was going to an English\Tribal speaking region in Africa. He also said it might be several months before I receive an invitation since I don’t leave until Sept.

So, at least I know that I’m going to an English\Tribal speaking region in Africa...that helps to narrow things down some.
