Job Description

Dear Friends,

I’ve been getting requests and questions about posting my job description once I complete training. Unfortunately this is not as cut and dry as some jobs in the U.S. I was lucky enough to get a job description when I was visiting my site (week five). This is something my supervisor, and Markey (site mate, and Education PCV) put together before I arrived. This is unusual for many PCVs, and I am probably one of the only ones who were lucky to get something like this. So to lessen my duties of explaining things I am going to share it with you all.
