Next step

I am very happy to announce I have recently accepted the WorldTeach Namibia Field Director position for 2013.  I cannot thank all donors over the past 2 years enough for your continued and extremely generous support.  We have accomplished a lot and none would be possible without your donations.  I was even featured on the WorldTeach blog for my efforts (A Word from the Finance Desk: Fundraising...).

After wrapping up my teaching duties as much as possible, I left Omungwelume on Tuesday and  have started working in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia.  The move and new job are still soaking in. For example, I can hear traffic on pavement from where I'm typing, climb 3 floors of stairs daily, and went to a cafe for a coffee. Seemingly mundane, but still strange. Regardless, I am tremendously excited to start this position.  WorldTeach Namibia has been an amazing volunteer experience for me and I'm looking forward to doing what I can to ensure the continued success of volunteers.

For now, I don't really know what will become of this blog, but since it has never gone as planned, that's probably best.  I'm sure I will post, so check back.  I also always link to my blog on Facebook - Bret McSpadden.

Stay in touch.
