Hello! As I am finishing up all those last minute things- packing, making phone calls, and downloading everything I can onto my ipod...just wanted to thank EVERYONE for there support and calls the past few weeks! I am so excited to arrive in The Gambia and to live there for 27 months.
Tomorrow, we all meet in Philly (woohoo!) before departing from Newark, NJ on the 5th. I look forward to meeting other like minded individuals and beginning my training as soon as we get to Banjul.
Email or write me whenever you can- I will try to keep in touch as well :)
Love and miss you all already!

Care packages
- Please don't feel obligated to send anything, a few people have asked of some things I've been missing from home, so here are a few things that would be amazing to receive on monthly mail run:
- letters! pictures, newspaper clippings from home, funny stories or articles, magazines
- granola bars, cliff bars, pop tarts, protein bars, nutrigrain bars - these are great when I'm biking in the "bush"
- cheese- any kind that would send well like powered alfredo mix
- dried fruit- apples, berries, oh man, anything!
- beef jerkey, chicken or tuna packets - anything protein, also those 6-pack crackers- like cream cheese and chives, etc
- your thoughts and prayers!
- I hear padded envelopes may be slightly cheaper than boxes, also try to send AIR MAIL or it could take 4-6 months to get here. Lastly, just put something generic like "non perishable gifts" with a value under $50 on the declaration form. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!
