The silence is over :-)

So I know that weeks went by without a peep out of me. Well the reason is simple! I'm about to give up years with my family so I wanted to focus on THEM! Nothing but them. I felt like they deserved every second I had to spare. I was up with them all day, and packing, preparing,  & praying most nights.

So are you ready for all the Juciy info?!?

About 2 weeks ago we got our tentative assignment locations.  (Tentative because everything is always subject to change lol)

At this moment, after training I will be relocating to the village of Womul.  Womul doesn't have a lot of info about it on Google,  I plan on changing that :-)

Womul is located on Malakula island, also called the dog because of it's shape. Womul is at the nose of the dog up into the mountains.  (Super excited and scared about that). Womul just got their first water tank system due to the amazing work of RPCV Jasmine! So even though I won't have running water I won't have to get up and hike down to the river every morning to fetch a bucket of water. Thanks Jasmine :-)

Womul is very remote and this is both exciting and a challenge.  There are about 10 or so volunteers on the island but most are at the feet & back of the dog. According to Jasmine the hike in should take 150 min more of less (I think the 1st time will be more) my goal is over time to cut that time down significantly. 

Over the next few months I will provide you with information about Vanuatu,  Malakula,  and Womul.

For now all I know is that I'm sitting in the airport not sure if I wanna laugh or cry or run away. So many emotions, so much has gone into the next 48+ hours and yet they are just the beginning to an amazing adventure. 

Until next time
