The Blog

Welcome to my blog!



I am going to serve as a JOCV (Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteer) in Tanzania starting September 2008. I will be teaching science, mostlikely biology and chemistry, in a local secondary school there for two years.



As far as I know, my schedule for the next few months looks something like this;



1. First week of July: starting my pre-departure training in Fukushima, Japan (200km up north of Tokyo).



2. First week of September: end of the training



3. Second/third week of September: Departing to Tanzania



4. Sept.-Oct. : 3 weeks in Dar es Salarm, Tanzania to finish up my training.



5. Sometime in Oct.: begin my assignment at the school.





I have no idea how often I will be able to get internet access once I'm in Tanzania, but I will try to update my posts as much as possible.
