Fancy Guesswork

Our medical and dental packets should be coming in the post any day now. We're so glad we were nominated before November because now we can make our appointments at the campus clinic, instead of waiting until we get back from Thailand in February to start the process. We're hoping to have all of our papers returned before the end of the academic year (November) and not have to think about when we will be getting medically cleared because we'll be busy riding elephants in Thailand for 2 months.

We think we could be going to any of the following countries Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, El Salvador. Our guessing isn't based on departure dates, obviously because that could change, but on countries which have traditionaly requested volunteers in the areas we were nominated for. I just read that El Salvador began a youth development program this year in June, which is combined with Municipal Development- the exact programs we were nominated for.

Guessing is so fun!

Just remember, dental is only good for one year. If they push back your leave date--and that chance is not small--you might find yourself doing dental again.

Booo! I actually think I will be leaving dental until the end. I heard that you can get invited without having been dentally cleared? Well, if this is true...I will leave it to the end.

I don't have dental insurance here...I'm sure going to the dentist will be quite costly! Yuck!
