Placement delays

Well, Luc and I both had interviews with our Placement Officer last Thursday. She wanted to find out a little more about us and our motivations. It was pretty straight forward. Luc had to call from India but it all worked out. She told us that the placement country we were originally slated for is now full of couples, which means that she's going to be looking around at other placements in Africa in July to see if we can go to one of them. We will likely have different programs too, which she asked us about. She asked if we would be willing to do English teaching and we both told her it was on the bottom of our lists! Hopefully we won't be offered that. I'm hoping that now I'll get a health program, actually, which would be a better use of my skills.

So we'll find out by email in the next week or two what our 'options' are. I hope we get a few choices! If she can't find us a spot in a July program then we'll be looking at September, which wouldn't be the end of the world for us. It would actually be pretty nice to have some more time before we leave. So we're feeling pretty good about things and hoping for some exciting placement news by email from India! I leave next week to join Luc there and we both can't wait!
