Just got the email from IVHQ (the organization I'm going through) with my placements while in Tanzania!! I will be living in the volunteer house with 20 other volunteers. Even though it's a home for volunteers, we will still be eating the traditional food, and have no access to a washing machine and dryer. I'm so excited! When I get there I'll be sure to post photos.
As for my volunteer placement, I will be working at Themi. I'll have a different experience than most because Themi is a special needs school with seven students, five of which are completely blind. They placed me here for the entire time, but I have the option to switch if I want to. This is a bit different than what I was expecting, but I am absolutely thrilled to get to know these seven kids on such a personal level. I'm a bit apprehensive about them being blind.. only because that's probably the Only disability I haven't had the opportunity to work with, but I am thrilled to be exposed to something different and out of my comfort zone.
That's all I got for you now! Time to finish laundry so I can start packing. In a short 11 days I'll be on my way!
