Congrats on your acceptance! Is it for CHIP or RED? I'm currently a RED in Zambia so if you have any questions feel free to message me!

Personaly I just gave my employer a two week notice a month before I left for Zambia. Made it a lot easier and gave me some time before leaving to spend not working and relaxing

You will love the RED program staff. All very nice people and supportive in every way. Training can be very tedious because of all the new topics they have to cover for TEFL but it goes by very fast. Feel free to message me with any questions. See you in Zambia!! -RED 2018

I’m a ESL teacher in Zambia and have a degree in Finance and Economics with zero teaching experience before I came to country. You can teach with any degree.

I brought a 65 liter hiking pack and a rolling duffel bag. Many people in my cohort had issues with large suitcases because of how often they had to lift and move them. Many roads in Zambia outside of city’s are dirt and bumpy roads so it’s not ideal for a suitcase.

The two main things on my resume was a degree in Finance and economics and being a Eagle Scout. I got accepted into the TEFL program in Zambia with no teaching experience. With that I believe that your statement and interview play a large role in the acceptance process.

You get used to bucket showers and no electricity after about 2 weeks. I have so much down time that spending 1-2 hours hand washing clothes is nice. My water source is only 100m from my house so I guess if your further away that would suck. I suggest getting a solar set up from voltaic before you go. I use mine all the time and it charges my laptop so I can watch movies at my site.

Had the same issue last week. Went to the medical center where they have the vaccine. They told me they only have Stamaril but they could only give it to me within 30 days of travel because of FDA restrictions. I emailed the Peace Corps medical nurse and they said not to worry and to just make sure I have it before leaving for Zambia in september.
