I'm safe.
My village was close to Gori, and... the news continuously gets worse.
But my safety and the safety of the volunteers has been the top priority of Peace Corps. We were evacuated from our sites on Friday, and after the developments by Russia within Georgia (outside Ossetia), we have been relocated to Armenia where we will be waiting for things to calm down. If it calms down, we'll return to Georgia to finish our work. If not, we'll be evacuated to USA.
More to come. I'm safe. And because I'm safe, I have a lot of time to worry about my host country nationals, my host family and the people I've grown to love.
