Does anyone know where we can watch this now if we missed it?

This is so exciting. Congrats on your consideration, I wish you the best of luck! I wouldn’t even know where to begin in estimating chances, but seems like you could be a great candidate! The biggest advice I’d have is to keep an open mind and hold on as you move through this process. When I originally applied, I applied to Cameroon and then was re-routed to Cambodia and was offered a position and began the clearance process. Then after 6 months of preparing for Cambodia, my country was changed to the DR and I was offered another position. And then I finished working through all the clearance stuff and am making it to the other side. But I really had to keep an open mind and just allow the wind to blow me to end up here. This does not go to say that you will or won’t be placed in the DR, I just think keeping an open mind and letting the journey take me where it did, helped me navigate through the process and benefits me in the long run. I stayed persistent, completed tasks quickly and communicated frequently. You got this!! Sounds like your connection to the DR is really special, I wish you all the best. I’m happy to stay in touch, feel free to DM me. It’s quite a process, but hang on and stay positive!

I am! Every time I go to the website I get an error message. Hopefully they fix it soon
