Welcome to the Western Samoa Group 42 web site.
The place to be while in the Peace Corps G42/Samoa i Sisifo was, in all honesty, Bob's Bungalow by the Beach, affiliated with Tuasivi College, Savai'i. Our host there was the ever-popular "Papu" a.k.a Bob Bower, now living a similar life in the Cocos Keeling Islands in the Indian Ocean, just NW of Australia.
Second best was Vaipouli College. A more detailed description will follow eventually.
Here is a rough and outdated List of Group 42 PCV's and their whereabouts. Some other links of interest, others mandated by the topic:
* Peace Corps Main Site
* National Peace Corps Association
* Talofa.Net (Apia ISP)
Our good friend and colleague Mike Daugherty (WS G43, Vaipouli) was, until Jan. 97, the (now ex-officio) president of the Maryland RPCV Chapter.

Group 42: Then and Now
This list has been compiled using the latest available information. Well, latest when this started (June1997). Our Dec. 1997 newsletter (thanks to Shelby!) has a few adjustments that I haven't made yet.
