Descriptions of Service

Hi everyone! As you probably know, our time here in South Africa is quickly coming to an end. We have less than three weeks left in our village and we will be back in the States celebrating Christmas and New Years with our families before we know it.

The past few weeks have been a bit crazy and our schedule probably won't lighten up much over the coming weeks. We promise we will try and keep you updated here on the blog as much as possible, but there may be few entries between now and our departure to the States.

We just got back yesterday from an exciting trip to Pretoria to participate in the US Embassy's annual craft fair. We want to share all about that as well as our recent PGC & PBC Awards Ceremony and Farewell Function at school. We'll try and do our best to get a few posts written in the coming days!!

In the meantime, we thought we would post a quick entry related to our COS (Close of Service) procedures with the Peace Corps. Every volunteer is asked to write a DOS (Description of Service) at the end of their service term. It is a summary document outlining major activities and accomplishments that can be used by the volunteer in the future as an official statement recognizing their Peace Corps service. We have included ours here in PDF format if you are interested in reading them:
