Dear Tanzania,
In T minus 53 days we will meet in person. So excited for the adventure and lessons
which await us!
For those of you who don’t know us, we are Jason and Heather
Lavalleur, a young married couple serving in the Peace Corps as secondary math
and science teachers in Tanzania. Here
in the United States you might know us as a software engineer and a
microbiologist. After a year of marriage
we decided to follow our passions and God’s call to serve those in need. We chose the Peace Corp through which to
complete our service as we value their cultural sensitivity and emphasis on
cultural integration and exchange. After
a year-long application process, here we are!
We leave July 8th (or thereabouts-we won’t know the exact
date until we get our tickets in about a month) and we will return September
2015! We are excited and nervous and
cannot wait to reach Tanzania. For now,
we busy ourselves with finishing up work and packing up our little apartment prior
to visiting with family and friends before our departure. We will do our best to update this blog, as
we anticipate it being the easiest way to keep in touch with all of you back
home. However, internet in Tanzania may
be hard to come by depending on where we are placed. We are thrilled to share our adventure with
you!
