Musings of Lesotho and Southern Africa from an American artist. Artist Christina Balch was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Lesotho from 2007 to 2009, and most of this blog is written during that time period. In 2015 Christina returns to Lesotho with new, open eyes.

One month to go!
Only one month until departure to DC for Orientation, then off to Lesotho for Pre-Service Training. I have a long list of things I still need to do before I leave, mostly personal affairs, but some legal and financial BS as well. It's kind of strange doing Power of Attorney paperwork at 24, but I feel so responsible! I'm starting to feel nervous and excited and a little scared (just a little). I am so grateful to all of my family and friends who have been supportive of my decision to serve in the Peace Corps. There will be a big BBQ/party at my parents' house before I leave so I hope I can see everyone there! I will be sending out an email invitation (perhaps an evite) soon so keep an eye out for it!
