Real quick update. Today we recieved our assignments and placement for after we are sworn in as official PC volunteers. I will be posted in the Mopti region in a village about 20 km outside a town called Bankass. I will work with villagers (mostly women) working on small community gardens among other projects. Its a new site and has never had a PCV before so I will be starting fresh. Its in Dogon country so along with Bambara I might also pick up some Dogon and Fulfulde. I am super pumped about my location and there are some really cool volunteers that will be up there with me. Swear in will be Sept. 21 so about 6 more weeks of training. I feeling better, Mr. D is leaving me alone, I'm recharged and ready to go again. I'll be back at Tubaniso on the 17th I believe so I'll write more then.
Bankass has internet and electricty, but I hear the internet is expensive. Also I will have cell phone service at my site.
