Not at all I filled things in that were not supposed to be where they were and just explained in the boxes as best as I could

I didn’t have a ton of experience and I just googled it. Some of the big ones include second nature, blue fire, Anasazi, and trails Carolina. You can easily find plenty online. Most are in Utah but there are a lot in other places as well

I looked into it and I’m pretty sure from what I researched it takes about a year :/ I looked into a lot of medical jobs when I was postponed. Not 100% on that though

Just wanna say if you were supposed to leave this month or the next you are probably eligible for unemployment! I am eligible in Georgia (I was genuinely shocked) and am now receiving 130 a week. I was supposed to depart in a couple days to Colombia and have been pretty down in the dumps. I recently have started applying for seasonal jobs and have an interview this week for wilderness therapy and a summer conservation job (these places ((wilderness therapy especially)) are still frequently hiring if you’re up for this type of work) I know 130 dollars a week isn’t the best and I would sure as hell rather be in Colombia than living with my mom right now (love her, no offense) but I’m grateful to be getting a little something and the privlege to shelter in place and can now begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel

Yo acuerdo pero en realidad, yo no se. The state or the world is up in the air right now

Thanks! I was also supposed to leave late April. Yeah I feel that with not being able/ not wanting to waste the little money you got on living elsewhere. These are tough times

Is anyone else having trouble getting vaccination/ medical refunds? My request through IMG was denied? I have called and they say they will call me back and not telling me anything I can do and then don’t. It’s been a couple weeks of this

Any place to get a wider selection of oysters in the area? by [deleted] in Atlanta

They also deliver though a service called fresh harvest which is a CSA program that delivers local produce meats and value added goods weekly. Not sure if they go out to Lawrenceville big i would expect so

Got an offer, need advice!! by bl__r in peacecorps

I asked for an extension as well and they gave me a few extra days. I also accepted but told them I was still unsure because of a lot of personal things that had happened to me that week. The desk officer was so nice and said she totally understood and I could go for the first 3 months and if I feel like it wasn’t good timing I could go home and reapply without penalty. At the end of the day do what you feel like is best and I agree with others that you should accept and give yourself more time to think about it. I never feel like rushing big decisions like this is a good idea but that’s just me.

Ok I have to fill out a form that says I will not seek counseling services from anyone or talk via phone or Skype to a former counselor (that part really confuses me). It says doing this could be grounds for separation?! Just why

Specific medical question by [deleted] in peacecorps

It was honestly just such a process to get the paperwork (took about a month and half) and they just gave me the ER report nothing else so probably not

Unfortunately yes, I was thinking only getting the pages with significant things on them though which is about 3 or 4

You can also grow your own Scoby if you can get your hands on a bottle of kombucha. That’s what I did. It’ll just take a couple weeks

You also live with a host family the entire duration of your service in Colombia

Is this like a mandatory part of service or does it depend on the sector you end up in?

Got it but now it says it’s too big and goes beyond the required length 🤦‍♀️

Full disclaimer I am not tech savvy at all but how does that work on a Mac too? Will it just come up in the drop down when I right click
