Hello,
I know you have all been waiting patiently to find out where abouts my location will be and what I will be doing this summer, and now the moment has finally arrived!
This summer I will be headed to the Dominican Republic. There I will be working at a placement called the Esperanza Project in Cabrera, Dominican Republic. I do not have the full details on this placement (for various reasons), however I do have a meeting this week to find out more about my placement, which I will relay to all of you immediately!
This is a very exciting time for me and my family and friends, as I begin to do research and find out more about the country I will be travelling to as well as more about the placement that I will be involved in! Soon I will be booking my travel shots to make sure I get them all in on time and I will be buying essentials to take along with me on my journey.
Another exciting thing that is happening this week is that I am starting my placement at St. John's Community Kitchen in Kitchener with a fellow Beyond Borders student. Through the Working Centre introductions and volunteer placement sessions that I have been to throughout the last two weeks, each of the students in Beyond Borders were informed to choose a volunteer placement that would challenge us, therefore my fellow Beyond Borders student and I are going to try to pretend like we don't know each other, so that we can immerse ourselves more fully into the experience. This is going to be a challenge but I can't wait to get started!
I will post again sometime this week with information about my overseas placement and about my local volunteer placement!
Cheers!
I was waiting patiently for this blog after reading your last one. I wanted to see if you would update your blog 'before the weekend was up.' This means you've got me hooked on your every entry! Good Luck this week at St. John's, I look forward to hearing about it (well reading about it)!
