Here we go!

Well I have made safely in The Gambia! It has been an intense last couple of days. I arrived in Philadelphia for staging on Tuesday and spent the night there. I got to meet the rest of my group. There are 17 of us. They seem really great and I look forward to working with them throughout this experience. We then spent Wednesday and today in transit. Now we are staying at the Peace Corps transit house in Banjul for the next couple days. Then the really work begins!
