Peace Corps Assignment--May 20, 2007

After years in the application process and countless hours of
speculating, we finally know our Peace Corps country of service. This
July, we will begin a 27 month tour in BENIN, a small country
located between Togo and Nigeria along the former slave coast.

Jaren will work as a public health advisor while Steve will be acting as a
small enterprise development advisor. We will spend three months
training in a training center (likely Cotonou, the commercial center of
the country), to be followed by two years in a village.

This is probably the best window into our upcoming experience we can
