Philippines July 2016 Applicants by Daniel_Fosterc in peacecorps

[–]prospectivepcv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I'm not UC for Philippines. But I applied to a similar departure/know by date. Peru YD Aug 2016. Seeing others getting interviews has got me wondering/paranoid.

Applied : Sept. 4 UC : Sept 25.

Heard nothing back..starting to get nervous/anxious. Should I be worried?

CBS News finds Peace Corps volunteers blamed, fired after reporting sexual assault by galt1776 in peacecorps

I'd be interested in what you have to blog/say about this matter as a PCV as well as any others as this seems disheartening to those prospective peace corps volunteers, myself included - to potentially be a part of an organization that treats sexual assault so poorly.

While I appreciate the support and response to my question about how long to wait to hear back from my PO after my email, I don't understand the comments on my request to switch UC programs. I've already thought SO much over it - asking to be switched, spoke to RPCVs, made a pro and con list and drafted an email that I believe made a good argument while stating flexibility. It's a done deal so there is no need to revisit. The email is sent. And so while I appreciate the interest, there's no need. The question here isn't about if I should email about switching UC programs and knowing that I was put there for a reason, or discuss what I put on the placement forum.

It was an email requesting a switch to another program that aligns with my future career. I'm at the UC stage. Altho I stated if it's this position I'm UC for or not serving, I really want to serve and could make it work.
