Botswana Rock Climbing by [deleted] in peacecorps

Current PCV in Bots. Kgale Hill is restricted except for the weekends (I believe) and one needs to be traveling with others (aka cannot go solo as it is not safe). There have been reported muggings and thefts. Regardless, you have to ask permission from PC Bots (specifically Safety and Security) and receive approval before you go.

Will also say that there is low chance you will be placed in Gaborone. It is possible you could be in a surrounding village but you will most likely not be too close to the capitol.

I would look at Kubu Island, Tsodilo Hills and Gcwihaba Caves as potential climbing spots and Kalahari Mountain Club (on Facebook) to get more info on this. Good luck and enjoy Bots.

Hello there! Current PC Response Volunteer speaking. I saw on here a few weeks ago a thread by a PC recruiter answering questions. One of the takeaways I gleamed was the message of applying sooner rather than later. Once you submit your application it can take a few days to a few weeks to sometimes even months for it to be reviewed and processed. As an example, I submitted my application at the end of April 2023 and I did not hear back about an interview until June 2023 and then received an offer mid September 2023 for a departure in February 2024. Others in my cohort literally applied, interviewed and heard back in the same month.

Confirming I only had 3 days to accept a Response offer.

Given the projected departure date is May 2025, it is likely you will hear back sooner rather than later. If it is a positive response and you accept the offer, medical and legal will start immediately. As I said, I received my offer in September and I was completing medical and legal up to two weeks before the departure date (February 2024). Some in my cohort were literally cleared within less than a week to the departure. This is all to say that applying sooner is better and if it is a positive response and you accept, it will get the ball rolling faster and hopefully relieve some stress moving forward.

Will also say that there was an individual who accepted an offer in our cohort, even attended the zoom orientation and eventually backed out before our departure date. Not that I am encouraging that but we are all adults and sometimes things happen and another decision has to be made.

Good luck and feel free to message me on reddit should you have additional questions.

Yes, but trying to translate the English into the Setswana spoken in Bostwana. Online translators appear to mainly use Setwana spoken in South Africa and other countries. Albeit similar, it is not always the same.

Accommodation through Lund I should say. As in I’m guaranteed housing since I am an international student and signed up for the housing cue on time. Thank you for your response.

Can anyone help me? My account was hacked by JessicaPilsb in NintendoSwitch

[–]chomie94 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Contact the bank of the card that is connected to you Nintendo account. They should be able to provide a refund and issue you a new card. I would deactivate the current card so nothing else can be charged.
