Just last week I was told that my site for the next 2 years will be in the village of Green Hill on the island of Tanna. I will be working at a forest conservation, not on coral reefs like I expected. I'm going to push to try and get to work on a reef as a secondary project though, but I will have to wait and see. Tanna itself will be a great place to stay. It's farther south than where I am now, so that means the weather should be a little cooler. Tanna is also known for its strong kastom (traditional culture) and for having the world's most accessible volacano. You can climb up to the rim and look down at the lava. The people in Tanna are fond of eating cats and dogs, and apparently they don't tell you that you are eating your favorite local dog until it's too late. But all in all, I think it should make for an interesting experience. Well that's all, I only had a few minutes to be by a computer. For those of you who sent me emails to my hotmail address, please start sending them to volunteer@vu.peacecorps.gov with my name on the subject line. I never really get a chance to check my email so send it to that address instead, and peace corps will print it out and send it to me.
