After three hard and wonderful months of training, I swore in as a Peace Corps Volunteer on May 2nd at the U.S. Embassy in Addis. After two weeks of waiting in Addis I finally arrived at site. For those who don't know, I am located in a town called Woliso. It is located in the Oromia Region. Woliso is about 112 kilometers south of Addis Ababa (about a two to four hour drive).
I have been in Woliso for almost two weeks now and am slowly settling in. I love it here so far. People are welcoming and the health office seems excited to have me here. I have been exploring and getting to know the town. I am looking forward to finding ways in which to help the community. I will help in the health office when I am needed there. I hope to also connect with NGOs in Woliso as well as with schools and potentially help with clubs.
There are many potential opportunities for projects and I am looking forward to getting started with them after our In Service Training in a couple months!
That is all I have for now! More updates will come soon!
Thank you all for the support!
