The newest Peace Corps Volunteer, officially sworn in for her 2 year service on St Lucia! That’s right, I am done with training and was sworn in by the U.S. Ambassador for the Caribbean. It was pretty awesome and there were really great remarks made. We also got to sing a song in Kweyol for everyone…they were sooo impressed. It was a great experience and we got tons of pictures. I will put them up soon, as soon as I get a cord for my camera so I can post them…thank you family for sending one for me!! 🙂 After, I got my official PC pin, patch and a certificate to make it even more official. The PCV’s from last year took us out to lunch afterwards. Its so nice to no longer be a trainee. Its official, I am a Peace Corps Volunteer! That was yesterday, today I got to explore Vieux Fort and also participate in a branch activity at the LDS church…karaoke party! It was so much fun, Lucians love to karaoke. They have no fear at all when they sing. I got up and sang “Roar” by Katy Perry with a young girl from the branch. I think I was hiding behind her…
On Tuesday, I have a conference with my Principle and co-teachers and will be in the school for the rest of the week getting ready for school to start on the 1st. I can’t wait to get started! My principle is very excited about my experience with library work. I will have lots of work to do 🙂
