Hello everyone. You probably have been watching what’s going on here, or reading about it in the news. That means that you have more information than I do. What we have here is rumors. The only thing that is sure is that we are all consolidated in Dilli. The Peace Corps fears with a rebel leader armed in the hills that the one Airport that can get us safely home is in threat. Other organizations have already called things off and gone home.
The Peace Corps program in East Timor has been suspended. All volunteers will close service. If things quiet down some of us may be offered reenrollment. But this is very rare. Preparations are being made to evacuate us over the next couple of days to Bangkok where we will poked and prodded by doctors until we are fit to be released back into the wild.
I don’t know how this will be ended. Dilli is near deserted and we are closed up in a hotel called 2001, the same one we spent training in. We hear there is a rebel army in the hills, we hear they will come and burn this place to the ground. But our leaders say this is not likely. We are to remain vigilant and prepare for our close of service.
