Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:
Community Development projects in Hawaii ranging from
Agriculture/Aquaculture, neighborhood grants to women and
children and education. I am currently a teacher of Science and still
in Hawaii
Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:
Quite frankly, I wish I could do it now. I am so much wiser. . . And,
far more knowledgeable. It's interesting that we send US youth to do
what potentially is a life/work experienced job. This very act in some
ways negates the purpose of Peace Corps. Countries of service and
the people we work with realize our youth and inexperience and
consequently feel their needs aren't given true value.
Anyone you are looking for or would like to hear from?:
Mary Ellen Burkhardt, Lois of Njinikom, Peggy of Bandjoun, and so
many more of those who served in Cameroun 82-84.
