I'll be headed to a small village on the Upper Suriname River. It's actually the southern part of the Suriname River but the river flows from south to north so thats why they call it the Upper Suriname.
My site does not have running water and does not have electricity. There is a chance that occasionally it will have electricity because they have a generator but it depends on if they have fuel for it. I'm not sure what kind of projects i'll be doing but that will come later. I'm super excited and ready to meet people of my village. I'll be visiting them this week!
I'll update you guys on the flip side! I need to go pack AGAIN and go grocery shopping for the week.
I got two packages today! It was the first mail i've gotten and it made my week! If you want to write me or send a package here is my address:

ReplyDeleteYour address is SO INTERESTING! wow!
ReplyDeleteSo will you get to your site by boat? I remember the one RPCV I talked to (the one in AL you eventually talked with also) got to her site exclusively by boat.
So excited for you!
Remember not to get overwhelmed. That might sound silly right now, but at some point it will make sense. Just remember the sun always rises, so if you need to take a breather, DO IT. :)
PC love,
jenn
