One day before the rest of my life begins (for the next two years anyway)

Hey everyone ! tomorrow i am going to be installed in my village! I am really excited and of course a bit nervous. Right now I am in dosso city waiting with some other newbies to be installed. There is not much to update you about since the last time I wrote because we have been doing administration stuff that I doubt you will find too interesting. The team of people here in dosso is awesome, I am so happy to be here with them.

The most important thing you need to know is that I have another email account that I will be able to access emails from (probably more frequently). The email address is dossopcv(at)intent.ne obviously the (at) in the address is that sign but the French suck at making keyboards and its too hot to figure it out, if you have any doubts just send it to my gmail account, which I will be able to check once in a while. REALLY IMPORTANT: this email is for all PCVs in dosso, therefore in the subject of the email you must put my last name so that it filters in my box. This is especially important because the RR and I share the same first name so it will get incredibly confusing if you don’t do this.

Once we get installed we have to stay at our post for one month without leaving (unless of course I experience a medical emergency). Speaking of that, my rash according to the doctor is a non specific rash for which I have two creams for. They seem to be taking care of the job. Ok back to what I was saying…after a month, we are required to stay in our region until IST, which is: in service training. Therefore I will not be able to check everything too often. So, I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween! I will have a wonderful time at post and hopefully write you all very soon! Take care, I miss you all and always thinking
