More info continues to roll in as my departure date draws near! Over the weekend, I received some information providing details on my arrival logistics and training schedule for the first 8 weeks.
The formal Pre-Service Training begins August 22, 2009 and ends October 15, 2009. My schedule will be heavy on Community Based Training and home stay activities. Sessions will generally be held from Monday morning to Friday, with some evening meetings and an occasional Saturday morning session to end around noon. During this training, I will study one of the following languages: Afrikaans, Rukwangali, Silozi, Otjiherero, Khoekhoegowab, or Oshindonga - all from the Bantu family of languages.
My first six nights will be spent at the Andreas Kukuri Center in Okahandja about 45 minutes outside of the capital city, Windhoek. For the rest of our training I will live with a host family in Okahandja. Below is a tentative schedule of my first 8 weeks of training.
