I recently found out my Peace Corps country assignment is Honduras!
I'm leaving July 11, less than two months from now. I'm so excited! At first I was really suprised by Honduras. Although I've been studying Latin America for the past four years, Honduras hardly ever comes up, so I can't wait to learn all about it. I'm also excited that I'm going back to Central America; it's such an amazing region. I loved my study abroad in Costa Rica.
Of course I'm nervous because I don't really know what to expect and it will be such a change. The experience will be so amazing. I'll be working in municipal development, working with local governments and communities. Yesterday I sent the in-country staff my aspiration statement and resume.
More updates to come!

Hi Kristyn!
My husband and I are leaving for Honduras with you! He will be working municipal development also. Here is a google group we found - so far it has been pretty helpful - http://groups.google.com/group/pc-honduras0709
My wife and I will be in Honduras with you as well. We just got our invite. We'll be doing youth development. See you there.
LOOK AT ALL THE FRIENDS YOU HAVE ALREADY!
I'm an RPCV from Honduras...1990-1992. Enjoy it! 15 years later and I still miss it. It was tough and not always fun, but the fun was SUPER fun...the downs super down. but isn't that life! Don't worry the Fun outnumbered the downs a million to one!
congratulations..enjoy! and if you get assigned to Olancho, you'll be an Olanchana for the rest of your life! Viva Olancho!!
