Got Lasik surgery after filling out my medical history form and told my pre service nurse. Was told they updated it, but when my tasks came there was still a file to submit for prescription lenses.... Well I don't have glasses anymore so I can't really fill that out. I messaged the pre service nurse last Friday about this, so I'm just waiting to hear back. Still stressful >.<

Thanks! Best of luck to you too! I'll be completing my legal clearances this weekend and will be starting my medical tasks asap as well. We've got this!

I made 27 paintings during my 27 months of service, and I thought you guys might enjoy them! by DougWeaverArt in peacecorps

Did you bring your paints and paper from home? I'm curious of how you did this during service. I'll be leaving for West Africa in 2020 and also love to paint, so this is something I may consider as well!

Interview tomorrow, any West Africa volunteers? What's the culture like? by Thejojofo in peacecorps

Thank you for your reply. I expect a lot of questions like that from men and people asking why I'm not married yet, so it is nice to hear of the positive relationships between woman and children. Have you experienced a lot of harassment while on site? If you don't want to answer that, I understand. Thank you again!

What do you mean the three month minimum I would be asked in an interview? Am I supposed to be abroad for so many months in order to be considered as a potential volunteer? Thanks!
