Blog Set-up

First blog attempt so bare with me.
I leave for Philly on September 27th. I will spend 3 days there training and receiving vaccinations. On the 29th we will bus to New York, where we have a direct flight to Accra, the capital of Ghana. We spend a few days there, including a reception at the the residence of the U.S. ambassador. Then, for 5 days I will shadow a current Volunteer. From there we move to Techiman where I will live with a family for 9 weeks of training.

My mailing address for the 10-week pre-service training will be:
Daniel Vainner, PCT
Peace Corps/Ghana
P.O. Box 5796
Accra-North, Ghana
West Africa

Letters would be absolutely amazing. Please number the letters and date them so we can get a feel for how long mail service takes and how often they "lose" the letters.

I will not know too much about my assignment until 3 weeks into training when they assign me to my site. All I know right now is that it will be Business Advising of some sort. My assignment will determine if I have a cell phone with constant reception, availability of the internet, and if I have power or running water.

The next few weeks will be hectic as I try to see as many people as I can and get all of my legalities in order. I've already said good-bye to Scotty, Malcolm, Lindsey, and Ry-Guy and it's not too much fun. I have had the best summer ever due to the fact that I knew I was leaving however.
