For about the first 2 months in Moz I have been living in a smallish town, about 2 hours outside of Maputo, called Namaacha. But now that training is finished and I am now officially a Peace Corps Volunteer I will be living in Quelimane! For the next 2 years!
Quelimane is located in Zambezia Province, which is towards the north of Mozambique. It is the fourth largest city in Moz and is a provincial capital. I will be living in a house that a previous Peace Corps Volunteer had and will be working with 2 different NGO’s in the area.
I don’t know all that much about Quelimane yet…as I have never actually been there. Whenever I ask people about Quelimane the very first thing they say is “Quelimane is extremely hot” and the second thing is “you will have to get a good fan”. But as many of you know I LOVE the heat.. especially when it’s “butt hot” out. But I guess I should wait and see just how hot it gets in Quelimane and I just might reevaluate my love for the heat.
So stay tuned to hear just how hot Quelimane is as well as other random facts and thoughts about the city I will be living in for the next 2 years.
