My guesses

So I am still waiting to hear back from Peace Corps about my placement. No rush, I think it will take them at least until the end of June as they haven't even placed people leaving in June yet! I am supposed to leave in September so I've got some time.

Anyway, getting bored, procrastinating from homework, I made this list of places I might be sent. So far we know: my French will help probably (these are all French Speaking), I am supposed to be doing primary teacher training, and it will be in Africa. So here are the countries on the Peace Corps website that match that description. The more volunteers they send then obviously the more likely my chance is...but I could still be sent anywhere. Drumroll please!

Mauritania (country name) 110 (number of volunteers currently there)
The education project strengthens learning, teaching and service to secondary schools and helps to build capacity by providing boys and girls with quality instruction in English. The project also entails peer coaching Mauritanian teachers of English as they build skills to be more qualified, creative, and effective in a work environment with few resources to support them. Volunteers help develop resources to strengthen links between schools and parent associations, encourage strong participation by parents, and advocate for the education of all children.

Benin 108
Volunteers have helped Benin improve the quality of education by teaching English, math, physics, and chemistry in secondary schools and by developing improved teaching materials, such as instructor lesson plans and student workbooks. It also collaborates with the Ministry of Education to provide qualified English teachers and develop English textbook materials.

Volunteers are incorporating the international science program, Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE), into the school curriculum. GLOBE connects students around the world via the Internet to share their knowledge of the environment.

Cameroon 161
Providing an expanding school-age population with quality education remains a challenge for the Cameroonian government. Volunteers help improve the quality of education by teaching classes in English, math, science, and computers and by developing teaching materials applicable to Cameroonian life. Health and environmental education curricula are integrated into daily lessons. Volunteers bring innovative techniques to the classroom that enhance students' critical thinking skills and improve the teaching skills of their Cameroonian counterparts.

Cape Verde 56
The education project is designed to share knowledge (content) and skills (methodologies) with Cape Verdean students, teachers, administrators, parents, organizations, and communities in formal and informal education settings through Volunteer and counterpart collaboration. Volunteers work as secondary school English and vocational education teachers and as teacher trainers. The project addresses inequality regarding girls' and boys' access to and participation in school, and educates students and the community in life skills and HIV/AIDS. Work with youth groups in sports, summer camps and community projects are also important components of the project. The MoE and Peace Corps began their collaboration with the education project in 1988, 13 years after Cape Verde gained its independence from Portugal.

Guinea 13
Volunteers have been working in Guinean secondary schools since 1986. Volunteers help foster students' access and performance, build teachers' capacity, improve school resources, and enhance communities' self-reliance. Volunteers teach English, physics, chemistry and math to nearly 8,000 students at 33 schools and the University of Kankan. Education Volunteers incorporate gender equity values in their daily teaching and give remedial instruction to girls in their schools. Many do secondary projects that help females cope with educational and developmental problems they face.

Madagascar 141
Volunteers live in underserved rural communities and work with students, teachers, and the larger community to improve capacity to speak English and use English in the workplace. Working in cooperation and collaboration with central and regional curriculum professionals, Volunteers also support the government's initiatives to raise the standard of teaching, develop teaching resources, and strengthen links between schools and communities.

Mozambique 163
In eight of Mozambique's 10 provinces, Volunteers provide quality English and science instruction to over 19,000 students in secondary and technical schools. They also work with Mozambican colleagues to expand the range of teaching methodologies, improve English communication skills, and provide assistance in completing certification responsibilities for the national in-service training program. Volunteers promote education outside the classroom with such activities as tutoring, coaching sports, organizing school library committees, facilitating regional science fairs, and directing theater productions.

Togo 141
Volunteers work with different community groups to increase understanding of the importance and benefits of girls' education in order to increase girls' access to formal and nonformal education. They also work with teachers to create an environment that will keep girls in school and students in clubs and classrooms. In recent years, the project has expanded to address the educational needs of apprentices and the trafficking of children. Volunteers help coordinate boys' and girls' camps during the summer with a focus on topics such as the importance of education, gender equity, reproductive health, HIV/AIDS prevention, and life skills.
