Well, I've officially been in Benin for 2.5 days now, and loving every minute! Right now we haven't really seen very much, because we are staying in a large walled in compound just outside the city and we travel everywhere on big buses. There are about 10 current volunteers staying with us to help throughout training, and we aren't allowed to go outside anywhere without them. It's actually kind of reassuring that they don't just let us wander around until we get more information and guidance about how to handle ourselves and where to go. There are also a lot of other volunteers who keep stopping by to meet us and just talk to us about their experiences.
I know this isn't a really long post, but I've gotta be going because a long line is forming here. Once we can get out and head to a internet cafe I'll definitely write more and post pictures! I just wanted to let everyone know I arrived safely and everything is going great so far! Don't forget to check out my address posted on the sidebar and send me lots of letters and packages!! E-mail also works too, atleast until September!
Love you and miss you!

About Me
- Kristin Sulewski
- In May 2008 I graduated from Michigan State University with a dual degree in International Relations and Social Relations and Policy with a specialization in International Development. On July 1st, I will be moving to Benin for the next 27 months as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I'll be teaching secondary school English and hopefully getting into lots of other random projects around my community!
So...where am I?

Letters should take about 2-5 weeks and packages at least 3 (padded envelopes are better than boxes). Copy this address exactly and make sure to write Air Mail/Par Avion on the envelope. I promise I'll write back!
