Swearing-In Ceremony

At the end of March, 2006, We worked with our supervisor, two of the four teachers with whom we will be co-teaching and one of the four principals for two days in Bangkok. We have to admit that we were very apprehensive the night that our supervisor (Khun Sura on the left) drove 5 hours to our new village. The support network (fellow volunteers and Peace Corps staff) that we had grown to depend on was immediately severed. To say the least, it was scary!!! Going to sleep in a strange house, and waking up in a strange village in a foreign country without a familiar face put a strange lull on our adventure. Little did we know that we were just beginning the best two years of our lives!!!!!
