Swearing in Day

This was the big big day when all of our hard work for the past 7 weeks makes it all worthwhile. We finally became Peace Corps Volunteers. We all were very excited and dressed up in our very best. Here, Sarah is being assisted by Ann for the swearing in ceremony. The dress was given by her host family during training.

My apologies for not remembering all the participants or their specific titles, but a U.S. Embassy Representative was present, along with, I believe, the Ministry of Public Health. Also, present was the Peace Corps Country Director, and all the trainers and staff members that played a vital role in helping us reach this point. Once we depart from here, it will be up to each individual, working with their counter-part, to determine what their future will hold.
