Peace Corps Moldova 19

Hello all,

Well this posting is long over due. I have been in Moldova with the Peace Corps for about a month now and the PC is keeping me very busy. I am in training right now, which is at least six days a week worth of job/technical training and language classes. So far I think the Peace Coprs is the perfect job for me, I say that with only one month on the job.

There are 36 other trainees in my group. If all goes well, we will all be sworn in as volunteers on November 15th. Then we will actually begin working. I have been assigned to a nonprofit organization called Local Agenda 21 that works with about 10 other ngo's in and around the town of Minrdesti, where I will also be living for the next two years. I have more information about the organization and my village but it is written in Romanian and my language skills are limited. We just had our first language assessment today so I will find out this afternoon exactally how limited my ability is.

Well, there are a million other things that I could write right now but I don't really have the time. I hope to hear from any and everyone soon. If you have any questions about Moldova and life over here please email them to me because I cannot think off the top of my head of what to write; I would also like to hear how all of you are doing in the States so please keep in touch.

Until then,

Chris
