Are you going to Atlanta?
No.
So why did you choose Georgia?
Peace Corps assigns you a country based on their needs. I did not choose the country/region.
Are you quiting IBM?
No.. I am taking a leave of absence.

Farewell to IBM note.
Hi all,
I have accepted a volunteer position with the Peace Corps. I will be teaching English in the Republic of Georgia for the next 2 years. Georgia is located on the map South of Russia, and North of Iraq, Iran, and Syria. :-) Sounds like an interesting place eh? My last day of work will be on Friday June 8th.
Information on Peace Corps.
Peace Corps roots are based on a challenge by Senator John F. Kennedy in 1960 for students to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. The Peace Corps is a US government organization with people based in over 70 developing countries around the world. Volunteers work with governments, schools, nonprofit organizations, entrepreneurs, education, health, HIV/Aids, business, information technology, agriculture, and the environment. Currently there are 7749 volunteers serving in the Peace Corps.
Mission of Peace Corps:
Helping the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women
Helping promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of people served
Helping promote a better understanding of other people on the part of Americans.
