In the last week I have been focusing on reaching out to people in Zambia and to other VSO volunteers to build a small network and to learn more about Siavonga before departure so I can wrap my head around the logistics of things.. is there grocery shopping?.. will I need a scooter?.. how do I get internet access accessibility etc.
I am still waiting for final approval from my future employer.. but I have tickets with a departure date of November 13th..I just need to be patient.. it's been challenging putting life on hold and trying to be open and flexible for anything.
I found out today through someone who works close by my new employer that the employer is excited to have me.. but that he expects me in February?? So I wrote my Volunteer Advisor and I have to wait for her response to find out what's going on.. so November departure or February.. we'll see what happens..
In the meantime I have my visa application ready to go, I bought the bag I'm going to take over with me and ordered a back up battery for my laptop.. just a few more things off my list! Now I just need a FINAL departure date.
Stay Tuned..
About Me

- I finally made the decision to go to Africa for 6 months.. at the time I was happily married and I had a great job doing business development for a great staffing firm. Everything was stable and good. Now I've returned to Toronto... My husband and I have split up, he's moved out and I'm single after being together for almost 10 years and I'm navigating my way back into my old job... and I thought it would be interesting to take everyone along in the new adventure.. if you're interested in reading more about my trip you can see that blog at myvsoadventure.blogspot.com.
