Hello dear friends & family and welcome to my blog!
The purpose of this blog will be to keep you updated on my news in Ukraine.
Starting on September 25th, I will be deployed as a Peace Corps Volunteer to Ukraine. My mission is Secondary English Education. (I'll be a TEFL teacher.) I will undergo a three month intensive training course this fall, (October, November & December) and around Christmas I will be sworn in as a Peace Corps Volunteer (before the swearing in, I am simply a "Trainee"). Afterwards, in January, I will begin teaching at my permanent site.
Well, many details are yet to come! I promise to fill everyone in as I go. For those of you that have Facebook (I assume that everyone reading this linked to my blog from Facebook), I already have several notes there about my experience thus far in the Peace Corps. Feel free to check them out if you have some spare time. Sorry, I am not shortwinded. ;-)
Thanks for the interest, love, support, friendship and patience in my Peace Corps decision and in my life! May God bless you all.
Love, Matthew

Hey, Matthew!
ReplyDeleteIt's Katya!
I'm so excited for you! God bless!
Hey Matt, are they treating you well in Ukraine? I hear it's very homophobic over there and I know you have an alternative lifestyle and all. Toodles.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Our little affair in Brazil was great. You are such a gentleman.
