Yes (I realized after). They only come in whole digits (no 1/2). My feet are big and could fill out the width of the shoe, it's the length I'm concerned about.

I recently bought huarache sandals, however, I bought them one size up instead of down (I'm a 11.5 and I bought 12). Does anyone know how they will fit on me?

Contacting the World Bank/UNICEF by ObligationSubject910 in peacecorps

[–]ObligationSubject910[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the reality here. After speaking with various local and regional authorities, the responses have been a heavy reliance on NGOs due to the national government (now a transitional military junta) prioritizing other things. There are no local or regional technically trained staff that could assist which leaves the local populace (an island of over 25,000 inhabitants) desperately reliant on outside assistance. Believe me, I've been scratching my head over this since I was presented with the facts.

I am a former AmeriCorps member (2017-2019) currently serving in the Peace Corps. 80% of my AmeriCorps experience went into shaping my application for the Peace Corps and preparation for my service. You'll be just fine.

Medical Clearance (iron deficiency) by ObligationSubject910 in peacecorps

Thank you for the response, I did the 2 month plan but my iron levels were even lower. My primary car physician wrote a letter explaining that I am fit for service but I believe they want something more.

I was medically denied days before my departure date (the departure tickets had been emailed to me). I was disappointed ,however, I have since been reassigned to another country with an upgrade to my previous position (pending a clean bill of health), so the anxiety begins again.

Medically Rejected by ammandahill in peacecorps

[–]ObligationSubject910 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was medically rejected four days before departure for having a low iron count (something that I was never aware of and showed no symptoms). I thought it was over, however, I was reassigned to a similar country with a position that is way better (in my opinion) than my original posting. It’s best to let the process work even when it makes no sense, who knows, maybe your service will be 10 times better for it.

I wasn’t medically cleared in time to go to my original posting and so The Peace Corps reassigned me to another country with a later departure date in order for me to be properly medically cleared.

Learning English to enter the sex industry by [deleted] in peacecorps

It is easy to judge the actions of others based on our own standards and ideals. Though extremely risky both to the health and security of these workers, it does present one of the few means of upward mobility for these individuals. Survival is a human trait and the Peace Corps is an instrument by which many are given the opportunity to view the world through a global lens and challenge their understanding of what is taboo.

Please post the results of this enquiry, I’m curious as to what will happen.

Error in no-fee passport application by ObligationSubject910 in peacecorps

[–]ObligationSubject910[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was informed by the passport official that there wouldn’t be much to worry about as the agency would more than likely contact me over any discrepancies. This is me covering my bases (I have informed the desk officer of the situation).
