WWF rescinded their invitation to have me serve as a volunteer

This is a quick update regarding my status as a Peace Corps Trainee.

  1. I did not meet with the country director at 3:00 p.m. yesterday for he was out of the office. The meeting was rescheduled for 8:00 a.m. today (Wednesday, August 21, 2002).
  2. The country director said that after meeting with my counterpart from the World Wildlife Fund (my assignment) on Monday to discuss why I was not sworn in, the WWF rescinded their invitation to have me serve as a volunteer.
  3. Since I no longer have a site assignment, the Peace Corps will have to find me a new assignment.
  4. If they cannot find me an assignment, the Peace Corps will send me home.

Also, they want me to move into a hotel today. I’m currently living with a host family in Grove (an hour away from Georgetown) and was scheduled to move in to my new home in Georgetown tomorrow. So I have to head back to Grove to pack. They pick me up at 2:30 p.m. today.
