Site Placement!

Hi all! I got my site placement today! I will be in a small village called Chongoene in Gaza Province. I am replacing a previous volunteer which is nice because I have a house that is already furnished. It is a three room house with two bedrooms and a kitchen/living room I guess?? It sounds like a pretty small town, but I am only 17K from a popular beach town called Xai-Xai which has a lot of resources. My house will have electricity (most of the time), but no running water or internet or anything. I am slated to teach chemistry and computer technology. The volunteer before me taught 11th and 12th grade chem so it's possible that I'll be teaching that too. I also live right at my school so it seems like it might be a bit safer. I am very excited about my site as of now, however I am veryyyy far away from some of my good friends here.

This weekend we have a 3 day weekend and I am going to a beach town called Bilene with a bunch of other volunteers. Our plan is to lay on the beach and relax! We leave at 5:30 tomorrow morning and the trip should take about 4-5 hours. I'll update when I get back. It's always great to hear from everyone!
