Peace Corps Volunteer Ian Spain in Moldova: Where am I going?
So I found out where my new home is for the next two years. Due to security issues I am barred from posting it, but I can say that it is in the far north end of Moldova. It looks like I will have a great host family, a progressive school, and a large village by Moldovan standards.

Where am I going?
So I found out where my new home is for the next two years. Due to security issues I am barred from posting it, but I can say that it is in the far north end of Moldova. It looks like I will have a great host family, a progressive school, and a large village by Moldovan standards.
Not much time to post anything else as I need to catch my ride home, but here are some more pictures. Thanks to everyone who dropped me an email, I will reply next week when I get the chance. For now I have a lot of prep work to do. We travel to our new sites for a visit on Saturday, and I have my first language assesment tomorrow, along with a meeting with my school director.
On Monday, I travel back to my current home solo! Should be a blast with only 4 weeks of Romanian under my belt.
Hope al l is well back in the states. My condolences to those in London, and those with family there. We were briefed this afternoon, and there are currently no concerns here in Moldova.

| American Taboo: A Peace Corps Tragedy Returned Volunteers met with author Philip Weiss in Baltimore on June 18 to discuss the murder of Peace Corps Volunteer Deborah Gardner. Weiss was a member of a panel that included three psychiatrists and a criminal attorney. Meanwhile, the Seattle U.S. Attorney's office announced that Dennis Priven cannot be retried for the murder. "We do not believe this case can be prosecuted by anyone, not only us, but in any other jurisdiction in the United States." Read background on the case here. |
| June 14: Peace Corps suspends Haiti program After Uzbekistan, the Peace Corps has announced the suspension of a second program this month - this time in Haiti. Background: The suspension comes after a US Embassy warning, a request from Tom Lantos' office, and the program suspension last year. For the record: PCOL supports Peace Corps' decision to suspend the two programs and commends the agency for the efficient way PCVs were evacuated safely. Our only concern now is with the placement of evacuated PCVs and the support they receive after interrupted service. |
| Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000 strong 170,000 is a very special number for the RPCV community - it's the number of Volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961. It's also a number that is very special to us because March is the first month since our founding in January, 2001 that our readership has exceeded 170,000. And while we know that not everyone who comes to this site is an RPCV, they are all "Friends of the Peace Corps." Thanks everybody for making PCOL your source of news for the Returned Volunteer community. |
