Thomas and I got our location for our permanant site!!! After training, in 6 weeks. we will be heading to the wonderful region of Talas! It's about a 5-6 hour ride from where we are now. We get to go through Kazakstan to get there, which means we get free Kazak visas.... which means we can go to Kazakstan for day trips on the weekend! I'm very excited about that. We got a small but of information on the family we will live with. It is a mother, a 15 year old daughter and a son who does not live at home, he goes to college in the capital. They sound very nice and are preparing two adjoining rooms for us. So we should have plenty of privacy.
We will live in a village only 5 minutes from a larger city, so we should have fairly regular internet access. I will be teaching English at a small secondary school. It only has about 320 students and 25 staff. Thomas will be teaching Health at an Orphanage for mentally and developmentally challenged kids.
There are other volunteers already there who live only minutes from where we will be living. And a few volunteers from our current group will be close as well.
Thanks to everyone who has been in touch with us and keeping us updated on how things are going! I miss you all!!
