The long wait

So Harborne over with, what next, not a lot, waiting around for news, waiting some more, then waiting a little more again.

I didn't hear anything from VSO throughout March, so started chasing them and after some effort got through to my VPA last week. VSO haven't forgotten me, my CV is with the placement office in The Gambia, and they are just waiting to hear back. They think they will hear this week.

In the meantime they have sent me the placement offer, and asked me to check all the info on it, talk to serving volunteers etc. and see whether I can put up with it  all.

Just a quick bit of info on Kerewan from a cool website -

and not so useful from wikipedia -

and to give you an idea on the weather there -

The job is basically a regional IT support / trainer position, helping office staff with their IT skills, supporting data entry staff, and generally being useful.
