FINALLY after nearly a week, that beautiful bulky package that is every applicant’s dream arrived at my door step today!
And what a curve ball!
I’m going to MALAWI!!! *happy dance*
I leave July 1st and my job will be Community Health Advisor
Staging will be July 1 – 2 2010
Pre-Service Training July 4 – August 29 2010 and
Service August 29 2010 – August 28 2012!
This is amazing! Just goes to show that sometimes no matter how hard you try to predict Peace Corps next move, they always know how to pull the slight of hand. So much for that French class! hahaha I’m too excited to care!! 
Now I must do some research! I did all that Benin blog stalking for nothing, lol!
This really is wonderful, I’m not even sad that it isn’t Benin, it’s going to be my home and I’m going to love it! There’s a HUGE lake right next to it and I hear it’s a good vacationing spot! Hopefully it won’t be as excruciatingly hot as Benin or Mali would have been, which must be God’s way of looking out for me since heat was my worst fear lol! Plus, it’s fun to say too! hehehe
More info to come next! Thanks for keeping up with me
You are SO adorable!! I love your happy smile! CONGRATULATIONS on Malawi; I’m SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is so amazing. We figured you’d be going somewhere not with me…c’est la vie.
You are going to have such a blast!
Keep in touch,
Elaina
That is so awesome! Congratulations! I cant even imagine the tension waiting for that invitation package. Even I was checking your blog everyday and thinking that it was taking an awfully long time to get to you.
AWESOME!!! I am so thrilled for you! You are going to be so great in that position.
You are going to change the world, Ashleigh. Whoo!

Hey! I was hunting down stuff on the internet and I came across your blog. It turns out, I will be leaving for Malawi on July 1st as well and I thought I’d offer my congratulations to a fellow invitee. It’s going to be such a great experience.
Hey Daniel! Congrats to you as well!
I’m so excited about leaving! If you’re on Facebook I made a group for us. It’s just called Peace Corps Malawi – July 2010. Come join!
See you in July!!
Hi Ashleigh! I love your Blog!!!
