So the normal lifespan of a Peace Corps Volunteer is approximately 27 months: 3 months of training and 2 years of service. Before our group, volunteers always arrived in Azerbaijan in June. With our group the arrival changed to September. What this means is that in September, the AZ5 group of volunteers will be leaving and a new group, AZ7, will be arriving. And this is really just a long way of saying…
If you're an AZ7 who's found my blog, welcome! I had my invitation by this time last year and we’ve heard that many people have already been invited and have accepted that invitation. I know I read some volunteer blogs before I left to try and learn more about the country and the Peace Corps; real information from real volunteers instead of Peace Corps publications. We’re looking forward to meeting you this fall! If you have any questions, feel free to post a comment or send me an email!

Hi Wendy,
I am part of AZ7, YD. I have been following your blog via the Peace Corps Journal site and loving all the blogs.
For other AZ7 kids, if you haven't found it yet, there is a Facebook group for us: http://tr.im/lheQ
Looking forward to meeting everyone in a few months.
Of course Mariel (and anyone else)! Feel free to email me at wendysuewalter@gmail.com.
