So all the folks in our training group that were originally supposed to serve in Niger met up to have our Advanced Service Conference, which is held a year into our service. It was so great to see everyone, since I hadn’t met up with many of them since seven months earlier at our In-Service Training. The overall tone of this training was very low-key. I think everyone was exhausted from their vacations. Many people had just come from visiting family in the States for the holidays, and the rest of us went on vacations around Madagascar.
We had a great time catching up and exchanging information about projects we’re doing at site (successful approaches and challenges or roadblocks though. There was also an awesome NGO fair, where some of our Peace Corps partners came to the training site to talk about how we could get involved with other ongoing development projects and initiatives here in Madagascar either during or after our service if we want to stick around after our two years are up. I made a lot of great connections and got some helpful resources and information during the training. Now I’m ready to get back to my new site to continue working!
