Any RPCVs interested in a short-term volunteer opportunity in Jordan? The America's Unofficial Ambassadors (AUA) program at Creative Learning is dedicated to expanding and supporting private American citizens' service in the Muslim World. From January 6-15 2012, AUA will lead a group of volunteers to Jordan to support local community development initiatives, learn about Jordanian culture, and meet face-to-face with Jordanian families and university students. Volunteers will spend 4 days working with Habitat for Humanity to build homes for poor families in the north of the country. They will also engage in discussion with civil society groups in Amman and Irbid to learn more about Jordanian culture, share insight into American culture, and discuss challenges common to both societies. The Building Peace by Building Homes trip to Jordan will end with visits to Petra (one of the modern 7 Wonders of the World) and the Dead Sea.

The trip is the first in a series of three Building Peace by Building Homes trips that CL will lead in 2012 [Additional trips to Tajikistan (May) and Indonesia (July) are still being planned]. For more information visit: http://unofficialambassadors.com/get-involved/buil ding-peace-by-building-homes/, or contact AUA trip leader, Andrew Stinson, at AndrewS@creativelearning.org.

I would greatly appreciate your help if you could provide me with some information about one FRANKLIN CHANCE. A graduate of Engineering Physics of the University of Tennessee, he was a Peace Corps member in Team 21. He served in the Mid-West of Nigeria in 1966 and 1967. He returned to the USA in 1967, when the Nigerian civil war broke out. I understand that he was killed in an auto accident in 1969 or 1970. I would be glad if you could provide me with the following information about late FRANKLIN CHANCE:

(1) year of graduation from the University of Tennessee,
(2) his date of birth,
(3) precise date of his death.

Thank you for your kindness.
