"Which Stan? Reflections on Mountains, Yurts and Post-Soviet Life in Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia" Topic of Talk at F&M April 18
LANCASTER, Pa. — What do you know about life in the post-Soviet countries just north of Afghanistan?
A talk at F&M titled "Which 'Stan?' Reflections on Mountains, Yurts, and Post-Soviet Life in Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia." by Emilia Rastrick will present an overview of post-Soviet life in Central Asia with particular emphasis on the little known 'Stan,' Kyrgyzstan. The talk will take place Thursday, April 18 at 4:30 p.m. in Stahr Auditorium, Stager Hall.
Through discussion and visual imagery, Rastrick will touch on the cultural, social, religious, economic, and political challenges facing this diverse and fascinating part of the world. Rastrick served as Peace Corps volunteer in the windiest town in Kyrgyzstan until late September 2001 when all of the volunteers in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan were evacuated in light of the tragedies in America and developing events in Afghanistan.
The talk is free and open to the public.

| RPCVs mobilize support for Countries of Service RPCV Groups mobilize to support their Countries of Service. Over 200 RPCVS have already applied to the Crisis Corps to provide Tsunami Recovery aid, RPCVs have written a letter urging President Bush and Congress to aid Democracy in Ukraine, and RPCVs are writing NBC about a recent episode of the "West Wing" and asking them to get their facts right about Turkey. |
| Ask Not As our country prepares for the inauguration of a President, we remember one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century and how his words inspired us. "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." |
| Latest: RPCVs and Peace Corps provide aid Peace Corps made an appeal last week to all Thailand RPCV's to consider serving again through the Crisis Corps and more than 30 RPCVs have responded so far. RPCVs: Read what an RPCV-led NGO is doing about the crisis an how one RPCV is headed for Sri Lanka to help a nation he grew to love. Question: Is Crisis Corps going to send RPCVs to India, Indonesia and nine other countries that need help? |
| The World's Broken Promise to our Children Former Director Carol Bellamy, now head of Unicef, says that the appalling conditions endured today by half the world's children speak to a broken promise. Too many governments are doing worse than neglecting children -- they are making deliberate, informed choices that hurt children. Read her op-ed and Unicef's report on the State of the World's Children 2005. |
