The cat is out of the bag...

I finally told my co-workers this week about my upcoming adventure.  Most of them were thrilled for me and understandably had lots of questions.. Some popular ones that I have had to answer again and again are:
  • Where is it?  North of Australia, near the Equator
  • How long will I be gone??  About a year
  • What will I be doing there?  Teaching Deaf and Hard of Hearing children between 3 to 5 years old and establishing an Early Intervention program
  • Will you come back to PSD?  I have no idea.  Who knows what the future holds for each of us.
  • What is included?  Room, board, travel and health insurance
  • What language do they use?  English and Marshallese for spoken language, think they have their own Sign Language... They are researching that now. 
  • What money do they use?  American Dollar
People I have talked to about my swimwear for Marshall Islands have loved the fact that I have to swim in a muumuu type of thing.... They demand that I post a selfie of myself with the muumuu.. :)

I think that is all so far.... If any more questions pop up, I will post them! I also mentioned that I plan to fundraise for books for the children there.
