A lil game

We're going to play a little game for my friends and fam. It's called "What I Know."


What I know:


  • I will have a cell phone.
  • I will have Internet access.
  • My skype name is julie.gerdes.
  • My address from August-October 15 is 
               Julie Gerdes, PCT
               Peace Corps
               PO Box 6862
               Ausspannplatz,
               Windhoek, Namibia

                              If you have a silly postal office worker, it might help to write "Africa" at the end. 

  • I will be teaching English for 70% of my work time. 
  • I will work in a primary or secondary school.
  • I will be doing some kind of HIV/AIDS awareness and education.
  • I will have shelter.
  • There are 13 provinces in Namibia.
  • For the first 3 months, I will be staying with a host family and working with other PCVs.

What I don't know:

  • What my cell phone number is.
  • How often I will have Internet access.
  • How often I'll be on skype. 
  • What my address will be after October.
  • Where I'll be living after October.
  • What I will do for the other 30%. 
  • What grade(s) I will teach, how many students I'll have, or what specific subjects I will teach (lit, grammar and vocab, ESL, etc.)
  • What kind of HIV/AIDS education program I will be running or working with.
  • What kind of shelter I will have.
  • Which province I will live in (desert? grassland? oceanside or landlocked? Angola or SA border?)
  • How many Volunteers will be in my town (prob just me), where the next-closest PCV will be, who I will live with after the first 3 months.
