After graduating from James Madison University (the best school ever), I ultimately decided I wanted to join the Peace Corps. Honing my spanish language skills, living abroad, working in the health field, and meeting incredible people were just a couple reasons PC appealed to me. I was hoping to serve in a country where I had never been before, so I was really excited to find I would be going to Nicaragua. I will be working as a Community Health Promoter in conjunction with the Nicaraguan Health Ministry. More details on the job to come...
This past summer I was in Honduras and had an amazing time so I figured Nicaragua, which borders Honduras, would be just as impressive. I hope that within the next 2 years I will receive tons of letters and hopefully visits because I am going to miss you all so much. I can't wait for the ride to begin...
About Me
- Megan A Mahoney
- Volunteering and traveling are two of my favorite hobbies. I am always looking for a way to do these simultaneously which has lead me to serve in Nicaragua as a Peace Corps volunteer. Hopefully this will lead me down the path to nursing. Oh, and I love ketchup (do they have Heinz in Nicaragua?)

Hi Megan! I'm getting so excited also...and a little nervous. I haven't even begun to pack yet. I'm leaving Friday to visit my sister in Utah and do a little skiing so I'm putting it off until after I return. It sounds like you have some good volunteer experience and I can't wait to meet you. My e mail address is selliott8@yahoo.com if you want to shoot me an e mail for any reason. I hope your doing well and great blog so far.
Hey you did a good job setting up your blog, I don't know what you were talking about!
Hi Megan,
I will be joining you in Nicaragua in May...I just received my invite to work with the TEFL program. I imagine you and all the others are going through your beginnings of training and I'll be interested to see what I can expect in May. :) Good luck to you and take care!
