SOOO…..
Got my peace corps assignment today. IN June 2006, I wil be traveling to Africa for sex education, AIDS education, primary education, and community development.
So I’m happy. At least now I know when I’ll go. However, I’m beginning to feel apprehensive.
I finished reading the Peace Corps volunteer safety report for 2002. Did you know that no homicides were reported in 2002? Yet in 1998 there were 4, 1 in 2001 and a total of 6 homicides from 1992-2002?? A total of 20 dead volunteers in the peace corps 47 year history?
Why so many dead currently? Probably due to the unstable world, and the worst part is, they don’t have current data on 2003 or 2004.
Oh yea, and 12 rapes in 2002.
I know there are risks to everything in life. But I don’t know. I don’t feel like dying in a country trying to teach safe sex.
