Before leaving for our assigned countries all Peace Corps Trainers must first report to a U.S. city for “staging”. Staging is essentially an orientation session. The two days are filled with a couple of icebreakers, immunizations, and sessions on Peace Corps policies.
The current staging numbers:
Number of airports – 5
Number of delayed flights – 2
Number of vaccinations – Only 1 so far!
PCTs (Peace Corps Trainees) in my Stage – 50
Hours of sleep – 10 in 3 days
