I’m so upset… Application Process

Post image

I have severe food allergies but have managed my entire life without problems. Are there really other countries I could go to?

Sending lots of hope they find you another great placement option soon! (I got the same message, applied for a program in Vanuatu but am allergic to shellfish, Tree nuts, Sesame and some fruits; it’s SUPER hard to avoid these in a TON of countries). I was super disappointed but decided to apply for PC Response this upcoming year instead for other placements and will get allergy tested again! STAY STRONG!
