As the team prepares for the experience of a lifetime, I am setting up my first blog. I am Sushma Singhal. I live in Maryland (just outside of Washington, DC) and work for IBM in Gathersburg, MD.
We have been having regular weekly conference calls for the past three month and completing required training in our own time. This is a very busy time, continuing with project responsibility as well as intense training, assignments, and preparation for deployment.
My air tickets were booked in Mid April, and I received my Visa around the same time. It took only two weeks to get my Visa after filing the application. I got my vaccinations too couple of days ago. My outbound flight to Nairobi is on May 31st from Dulles Airport and I will be arriving in Nairobi on June 1 at 10:30 PM local time. It's beginning to feel reality now!!
I am very proud to be part of a team of top performing colleagues from IBM, that would represent IBM in the Corporate Service Corps.
