I have recently found out that I will be working at an organization called the I.N. Network and have been in contact with my supervisor. This network runs a community center in Lucenec called 3Pe, a "Center for Gypsies" in Cinobana, and the "Comenius Center" in Rackova dolina. I will be living and working primarily in Lucenec, but may also be traveling to Cinobana and Velka, two gypsy villages close to Lucenec. At these locations, the organization runs quite a few support programs... everything ranging from cooking clubs and alcoholics anonymous to dancing groups and mother's clubs. My work will mainly be revolving around the Gypsy Ministry, but my exact work will depend on how much of the Slovak language I can learn before I arrive!
The IN Network in Slovakia has a wonderful webpage, but unfortunately it is only in Slovak. If you are interested, visit http://www.innetwork.sk/vitajte/
Also, I learned that I will be staying with a host family that lives in downtown Lucenec. The family has three children (two boys, ages 11 and 8 and one girl, age 2) and "two nice dogs".
