Work Description:

I worked at several orphanages in San Cristobal and Santo Domingo, doing agricultural and physical education projects. The children taught me more than I could ever teach them. They showed me how precious life is through their curiosity and playfulness.

Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:

I'm out of agriculture now, and into English language education and self-expression. I currently reside in Ogaki, Japan where I teach English to 3-18 year olds. I train other teachers as well.

Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:

It was a fantastic experience! Lessons that I learned there still guide me today.

Anyone you are looking for or would like to hear from?:

Kathy Stearns and Libby Ward, where are you?

Any message for returned volunteers?:

Keep the spirit and share your experiences with others.
