John S. Jochum's "Letters from Zaire" -- a collection of letters he wrote home while a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa in the mid-1970s is out -- published by WinePress Publishing in Enumclaw, Wash., with color photos. The author, who lives in Delmar, offers the insights of a young, motivated American facing a complex culture.
"Today, there are a lot of young people deciding what to do," said Jochum. "This is a story about service -- giving rather than receiving."
The book is available on amazon.com for $15, or call Jochum at 410-896-4286.

 | 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. |
 | 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. |
