Almost Done

The two months of the pre-departure training will finally be over in a week.
I’ve done my last practice lesson today about radioactive decay and half life (random I know lol)and the only thing I need to put my work into is the Kiswahili final exam on this Saturday, hence I have a little bit of time to update the blog.

The end of this month, I’m finally going to Tanzania.
Mt flight is currently scheduled to leave Japan on the 29th of September.

Looking back at this training, it was filled with the positive experiences which I didn’t really expect. I was surrounded by people with very unique background. Our ages ranging from 21 to the 70s, our walks of life were so diverse and the countries we are going to are spread across the globe from Southeast Asia, to the Middle East and to the continent of Africa. Yet, we all hit it off so well and I guess that is because there’s something in common to the people who are willing to take part in this kind of program. It was just stimulating to be with the kind people I’ve met here at the training center. (I’ll upload some photos on facebook when I get them from everyone else because I don’t have a camera on me here)

As far as my Kiswahili is concerned, I’ve got a lot better since I started my training. Now I can write journal entries and carry out really basic conversations. I can’t wait to continue learning the language in a month of my in-country training when I get to Tanzania.

Anyways, that’s it for the short update!
