I got my placement! It isn't at the Koranic University, like I though. I will be teaching at the Wildlife Federation. They are in charge of a large wildlife preserve in the Blue Nile State. I will even be able to visit, camp at the preserve and see the wild animals. The students are not very advanced and they are shy about speaking English.

I also had my first class at the Khartoum University today. My students are all studying Zoology and seem to have a strong grasp of the English language. The class will probably end up being just a discussion group. The first day went well. I had them introduce themselves and tell me about their interests. They could speak and understand much more than I expected. Rachel, another SVP volunteer who has taught this class before, said that she usually just gives them a topic and lets them discuss.
