Hey! I just found out that I'm going to stay in Kaedi for the next two years!! My new address is:
Lindsay Marmer, PCV
Corps de la Paix
B.P. 66
Kaedi, Mauritania
West Africa
* I hear if you address me as "Sister" and yourself as "Father or Sister" Mauritania post offices won't mess with the packages or letters. Please write! I love mail!! Thank you to those that have!!
So, Kaedi is a Regional Capitol here in the South, where I thought I would be for the first three months. I'll be here with 6-7 other volunteers and have electricity, running water, and the internet. I'm going to live with another family, for integration purposes, it's really great. I can't wait! Anyway, I'm staying here to explore for the next week then I head back to Bababe for three more weeks of training until I swear in as a VOLUNTEER on September 6th!!! There are so many opportunities here to work in whatever area I choose so I'm really happy to be placed here. Also, I've heard it's one of the best sites.... :)
I'll put up another blog this week with some fun stories of training in Bababe. Overall, life is good, I can't wait to swear-in and make this real! Thank you for those who have sent letters and emails. I miss you!

PS- I have gone 35 days without alcohol!!! It's not so bad... I swear! At least I get coffe every morning :)

Hi Lindsay:
First of all I applaud at what you're doing for so many people and learning about different cultures. I always appreciate well-rounded individuals. Good luck with this and future endeavors.
Second: I believe I may have gone to Elementary School with you in Germantown. Daly, 5th grade Mr. Emery. Because I VERY clearly remember a Lindsay Marmer from the elementary school days!!
Good luck
