Robin Danek in the Ukraine
Robin Danek in the Ukraine
Welcome!
My name is Robin, I'm orginally from Cedar Rapids, Ia, and on October 2, 2003, I will begin my service in the United States Peace Corps as a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) volunteer in Ukraine. I hope to use this website as both a tool to help my friends and family back home keep up with my life overseas and as a way to educate Americans about Ukraine. Please feel free to explore this site and contact me if you have any questions or comments. Make sure to sign my guest book and check out the links section!

Hi Robin!
And congratulations! It looks like you're almost done with training! As of two days ago I sent in my medical application and am now eagerly awaiting a response. I do have a few questions for you. Is this a good time for you? Please let me know and good luck!

Robin,
I envy you for the opportunity to teach English with the Peace Corps in the Ukraine. After your two years you will be fluent in Russian and probably have a great working knowledge of Ukraine. I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco from 1976-1979. I had majored in French and Russian at Indiana University. In Morocco I taught English in a high school in a small Moroccan village called Kasba Tadla. As part of my training I had to learn Moroccan Arabic. At the end of my third year, (I was lucky and Peace Corps allowed me to extend my service one year at the same post)I was fluent in French and quite good in Moroccan Arabic. I thoroughly enjoyed my Peace Corps experience. I learned so much about languages, culture and about myself. Unfortunately, in the 70's there was no Peace Corps in the Soviet Union. I would have loved to have worked somewhere in Russia.
After 14 years in the aerospace industry and 5 years being a Stay At Home Dad to 3 teenagers, I have decided to go back to school and get a teaching certificate to teach elementary school kids. I still enjoy teaching and look forward to doing it again.
Good luck in your assignment. If you want to communicate, I would like to know how you are doing and how the students are performing.
Sincerely,
Robin Stetzler
