Are you a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV) or concerned global citizen looking for a way to get involved in the promotion of global health equality and social justice in Africa?

Returned Peace Corps Togo Volunteers in Washington, DC are seeking dedicated individuals willing to become involved in the initiation and administration of a local fund-raising chapter in the DC metropolitan area to support Hope Through Health (HTH), a dynamic non-profit organization created in 2004 to provide financial and technical support to global community health initiatives in resource poor settings.

Hope Through Health exists to fulfill two primary goals:

(1) resolve inequalities in global health by engaging in community-directed initiatives that support comprehensive health interventions in resource poor communities;

(2) establish long-term, global partnerships that seek to promote solidarity in the pursuit of social justice and health as a human right in underserved communities.

HTH seeks long-term partnerships with established, local organizations that are committed to improving the health of their communities, recognizing the strength and success of community-based initiatives to address global health inequalities.

As a Togo RPCV, I have head the pleasure of witnessing first-hand the success HTH has met thus far in collaboration with Association Espoir pour Demain (AED-Lidaw), an association of people living with HIV/AIDS based in the Kara Region of Togo, West Africa. HTH has worked in close partnership with AED-Lidaw to establish a strong community-based and led initiative to provide comprehensive treatment, care, and support for people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS.

This effective community-based model ensures direct community participation and ownership by initiative beneficiaries, and provides hope and improved quality of life for hundreds of people. For more information on HTH and AED--Lidaw, please follow this link:

www.hthglobal.org/

The Washington, DC Metropolitan Area HTH Chapter will support the mission and goals of the organization by engaging in the following three primary activities:

1)local fundraising efforts
2)education and advocacy
3)community outreach and relationship building

Please contact Jolie Dennis,

jolie_dennis@yahoo.com, or Stacey Maslowsky, Stacey.maslowsky@gmail.com, to learn how to become involved.

Thank you in advance for your interest and support, and Happy Holidays!

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who might help me determine the name and address of the male PCV who knew our daughter Jennifer in 1984, and who, a year after her death, diffidently sent my wife and me what quickly became our very favorite photograph of Jen. The picture was sent from St. Paul, MN.

Thank you.

RPCV Memoir

This includes time spent teaching ESL in Peace Corps Togo in West Africa which was very sadly cut off through an accident that caused the death of my wife and damaged my left leg.

My memoir / expose of the seedier side of the beats, the hippies, and the new age is now available (Amazon, BN, etc). It details the last 30 years of my life basically beginning with Peace Corps West Africa.

Phil

(From the dustcover)

A life well-lived.

Inspired by and responding to Jack Kerouac’s Dharma Bums, this memoir details the psychological and spiritual triumph over severe psychological difficulties caused by a series of traumas endured in the Peace Corps in West Africa in 1978.

Surveying the spiritual landscape of America through the seventies to the present in Zen, Tibetan Buddhist, New Age and Christian movements, this memoir describes author Philip A. Bralich’s 35-year journey through western and eastern psychology, including much reading and practice in those disciplines and an inadvertent but much loved run in with the world of the beats.


The dedication:

“This book is dedicated to the elucidation of “the best
minds of my generation destroyed by madness,” to
those who have sought to stop the madness rather than
exacerbate it, to the best minds of the Eastern and
Western traditions who never succumbed to the madness,
and to the victims of those who did.”

The opening poem:

He*rd said.

He said she said that they said I said … but
What I really said
Is I think it’s you instead.

Bio:

Ph.D. Linguistics. Many years teaching ESL and essay and research writing. Much experience presenting at professional conferences and publications in theoretical syntax, ESL and computational linguistics. Much experience with professional business presentations, business writing and grant writing as well. 30 years study and meditation of Zen and Tibetan Buddhism as well as a wide reading of Western and Eastern psychology and philosophy.
