Thirty two volunteers in his group-one married couple. They have been together for 5 weeks in the training camp outside of Niamey the capitol. Will stays with a family each evening in the near village where he sleeps out under his mosquito netting, showers with a bucket and poops without a toilet. His language training is Hausa. The training is quite intense as in mid September each volunteer will be on their own. He sounds remarkably at home in the country at this early stage in his adventure. His post is about 10 hours from the training camp. Email us jwsmith6018@tx.rr.com if you need his new address. His accomodations will not include electricity or running water. He tells us less than 5 miles from his post he will have access to internet and plans on visiting his fellow volunteer there weekly. He has a cell phone so ring us if you want his number and access to the most economical phone card.
Our hope is that each of you is doing as well as Will is in Niger!
The Parents
