My Face Tells a Story - Michele A. Linnen
Show Dates: March 14 - April 15
The collection of black and white portraits in, "My Face Tells A Story", is in honor of the women and men of Germany's Eifel Region. It is, above all, in honor of their Aging and the quiet dignity found on their faces - if only we, the younger ones, noticed.
To his friend, the German photographer, August Sander, Heinrich Pilger wrote, "I am...beginning to know what 'old age' can be. The younger ones may snigger, groan, mock - we'll see whether they, these greenhorns, will manage as well or even better than we did; because it isn't written yet, if you please, on a clean, bright white sheet..."
A life is born. A story begins. And ends.
Vernissage

| The Peace Corps Library Peace Corps Online is proud to announce that the Peace Corps Library is now available online. With over 30,000 index entries in 500 categories, this is the largest collection of Peace Corps related stories in the world. From Acting to Zucchini, you can find hundreds of stories about what RPCVs with your same interests or from your Country of Service are doing today. If you have a web site, support the "Peace Corps Library" and link to it today. |
| RPCVs and Friends remember Pope John Paul II Tony Hall found the pope to be courageous and capable of forgiving the man who shot him in 1981, Mark Gearan said the pope was as dynamic in person as he appears on television, Maria Shriver said he was a beacon of virtue, strength and goodness, and an RPCV who met the pope while serving in the Solomon Islands said he possessed the holiness of a man filled with a deep love and concern for humanity. Leave your thoughts here. |
| Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000 strong 170,000 is a very special number for the RPCV community - it's the number of Volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961. It's also a number that is very special to us because March is the first month since our founding in January, 2001 that our readership has exceeded 170,000. And while we know that not everyone who comes to this site is an RPCV, they are all "Friends of the Peace Corps." Thanks everybody for making PCOL your source of news for the Returned Volunteer community. |
