Tomorrow I leave for Philadelphia for my pre-orientation. I will join other Peace Corps volunteers to begin our travels. On Wednesday I leave for The Gambia with a layover in Brussels. I am taking one duffel bag and a backpacking backpack. Hopefully I have everything I will need.
I am excited to finally leave. I started the process over 6 months ago, and it seems like I have been waiting forever to go. When I arrive in The Gambia, I will be in the capital for a week where I will have access to internet. After that, I will move to a training village for the next nine weeks. I will only have internet when I travel to a larger village which should be every couple of weeks.

Alex,
Papai and I are also very proud of your courage, for choosing to spend 2 years living a new experience and trying to help the world to be a better place.
You will have a great time, difficult at times, but full of great experiences that will help you to better understand the world and its people.
God (and vovo') will be looking after you...

Alex,
I met you when we were still a baby. I remember watching you playing in the grass in front of your house at Barry Ave. Yes, a long time ago - back in 86. Both Reginaldo and I are very proud of you, and wish you good luck in this new and exciting time in your life. My kids, Patricia and André, want you to know that they also consider this an extraordinary experience indeed. Beijos, Cristina
