Ha! When i wrote the post, i was wondering if anyone would catch that. :) Yes, the two volunteers they've lined up are of opposite sexes. Something statistically odd happened with this training group and they have 15 women and 2 men. It would make sense to just put two women there, but most of the trainees this cycle have specifically requested more urban/ developed sites, and are "soft" as they say. The two most likely candidates thus far are a guy and a girl. Really, the US taxpayers' cost of the housing isn't an issue anyways, because
A) housing is cheap in Giatemala, and
B) the village is so excited to have the volunteers that they are giving them houses rent-free (much like our situation, another rarity).

Illinois, REPRESENT! Hahahahaha
