That's right! I will be leaving for staging July 22 and then off the Cambodia July 25 to be an English Teacher and Youth Development Volunteer!
As I opened my invitation and read through the Assignment book and the Welcome Handbook; I literally almost had a panic attack. I had to stop reading and sleep on it. I was overwhelmed, excited, nervous, doubtful that I could handle such an assignment, and flat out scared. When I woke up this morning I re-read everything, got a lot of information from volunteers currently serving in Cambodia, and then sent my e-mail accepting my invitation to serve! After reading and hearing that other people are actually surviving while serving in Cambodia I knew that I too could handle this assignment!
The people that I have been speaking with that are currently serving have been extremely helpful and am so thankful for that. I recommend that if you have been invited you find a way to reach out the the volunteers serving or past volunteers from your Country. I found a Facebook group and all and more of my questions have answered by current volunteers in Cambodia.
Now it is time to figure out all this Visa and Passport stuff, aspiration statement and resume, and spend time with family and friends before departing for Cambodia. I couldn't be happier right now.
It seems like with lots of determination and hard work, dreams do actually come true.
