Evacuation

Peace Corps Bolivia has been evacuated out of the country of Bolivia for continuing political unrest in the country and potential danger to its volunteers. You can imagine the mountain of paperwork and medical hoops we have to jump through to either close our service or move on to another peace corps post. We are finding it difficult to write up reports of projects unfinished, where to find something in our room to be sent home to us, or defining the next place we want to end up in, whether that be an early home return or new country. I assumed that anyone interested enough could search google for news information, but I've put a list of things I just found myself, fairly quickly...but more news stories are easy to find.
