After training for two days in PA and a 3 hour bus ride to JFK airport in New York, the only thing between Kinsey & Africa was a 24-hour plane ride. Wednesday night her plane landed in South Africa where the group of 26 stayed one night before another plane ride into Madagascar.
Although we have not had direct contact with her, my mom talked to the Peace Corps today and they informed her that Kinsey's plane had landed safely on Thursday, June 12. After arriving in Madagascar the group was headed into the Peace Corps Training Center for a night of rest. On Friday, after receiving her final shots, Kinsey went home with her host family in the capital city.
Prior to stepping on the plane, Kinsey told us it could be up to 3 months before we have any form of contact with her besides snail mail. During this time, she will be immersed in a new culture, forced to learn a new language and adapt to a new way of life. Please try to take a few minutes out of your busy lives to send her some words of encouragement and keep her in your daily thoughts & prayers.
Until we hear more,

One PCV in the Philadelphia training group posted a photo on her blog http://pcvdorothy.blogspot.com/
and I saw another PCV's blog with the same photo.
My daughter hasn't started her blog yet....so I am enjoying the others -- can't wait to see the first entry from Madagascar!!
Feel free to email me -- I think a network of "friends and family" would be a great thing to start.
Hi! My sister is in Kinsey's group as well. I came across her google group that she set up for the volunteers going over together and posted a shout out to any family and friends of the volunteers that would like to keep in touch. Go to
http://groups.google.com/group/peacecorpsmadagascar
to see more info. I also posted the group pic there for everyone to see. Hopefully this can help connect up those on the home front who'd like to support each other. Feel free to email me at muse0000@cableone.net!
