Congrats to the Malawi PCVs

I am officially a Peace Corps Volunteer now! The 19 of us in the Peace Corps Malawi Education group swore in on the 28th of August at a ceremony in the village of Chinkhombwe, Kasungu District.

Here we are, in all of our Malawi finery! Notice the sweet 'staches on some of the guys. It was just for swear-in though.

Wish us luck! Our service to Malawi has officially begun!

**Update**

We made the Malawi news. Check it out:

A few corrections - Please note that despite the quote in the article, we actually do have two volunteers posted to the district we trained in, including one from my group. Also, there is a Secondary School nearby the village, which is where we completed our Model School. Finally, if a school would like to have a volunteer placed there in the future, all they need to do is contact Peace  Corps and apply.
