One Week 'til Philly!

At this time next week I will be on a plane headed to Philadelphia for staging where I will meet all the other volunteers (there's 67 of us!) headed to Ghana on June 4th. We will spend 3 days getting acquainted with one another and learning about health and safety in Africa and what we can expect for the next 27 months. As eye roll-inducing ice breakers can be, I'm really excited to meet everyone and form a support system that I am sure to lean on over the course of my service. We will also be receiving the rest of our shots (Hep A, B, and C at the very least) and start taking malaria pills. Bring on the throbbing arms and weird dreams! I'm ready!
