Red Cross

Well, there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel. And of
course the metaphorical tunnel is the crappy situation of joining the
Peace Corps and not having a real job for about 10 months! I spoke
with the Samoan Red Cross and it appears that I may have found a place
to work! They have a number of projects going on at the moment and
are excited to have me available to help them. Of course specifics
are still lacking at this stage but i will be stopping by tomorrow to
see if more information has been gathered and a clearer picture of how
I can fit in has been produced.

Of course after such a long drought in job prospects I am hit with two
in the same week. I spoke with the President (I think that is his
official title) of the Samoa AIDS Foundation and they are interested
in my help as well. At this point in time they actually appear to
have a more specific idea of where I can fit in but I did talk to the
Red Cross first and my background better suits me for their work,
definitely. So most signs are pointing to the Red Cross but I met
with the Samoa AIDS Foundation today to keep all my options open, just
in case.

Gonna keep this one short but I thought I would give you all the
update. There are some interesting goings on and rumors with regards
to the road switch I will tell you all about when I post this
weekend. Also the new group is set to be here in a few weeks. I tell
ya, it feels like just yesterday I was the green horn coming in to the
country. (the use of "green horn" is for Whitney and all her new
Texas friends, yay cowboy slang!)
