Mauritania


I received a call on Thursday from the Peace Corps telling me that I wasn't going to Tanzania anymore due to some sort of staffing problems. Apparently half of my training class is being sent elsewhere, so it's definitely not just me. I received a new invitation to Mauritania doing Health Education, although in a different way than in TZ. I'm totally bummed, because I was completely psyched about Tanzania and seening zebras and giraffes and going to Zabzibar and stuff, but I'm sure that Mauritania has its own cool things. It's in the Sahara Desert, so it'll be cool to see that, and I guess I'll get used to living there for two years. I'll also get to learn French, and maybe (hopefully!) some Arabic, so that will definitely be fantastic. No Tanzania - c'est la vie. See? I'm learning already!
