By Ellen R. Sheeley (gut75-2-82-66-246-203.fbx.proxad.net - 82.66.246.203) on Saturday, October 20, 2007 - 9:22 am: Edit Post

I am an RPCV from Western Samoa (1983 to 1985). I've since worked in Jordan a number of times and lived there, too. When I lived there, I was working on "honor" killings. Before I left, people asked me to write a book about my work, so I did. It is called "Reclaiming Honor in Jordan," it was published just this year, and it is available on the American version of Amazon.com.

Please feel free to share this information with any RPCVs from the region, any incoming PCVs to the region, any regional administrators, and other interested parties.

Shukran!

By America's Unofficial Ambassadors (65.199.27.1) on Wednesday, October 05, 2011 - 3:56 pm: Edit Post

Any RPCVs interested in a short-term volunteer opportunity in Jordan? The America's Unofficial Ambassadors (AUA) program at Creative Learning is dedicated to expanding and supporting private American citizens' service in the Muslim World. From January 6-15 2012, AUA will lead a group of volunteers to Jordan to support local community development initiatives, learn about Jordanian culture, and meet face-to-face with Jordanian families and university students. Volunteers will spend 4 days working with Habitat for Humanity to build homes for poor families in the north of the country. They will also engage in discussion with civil society groups in Amman and Irbid to learn more about Jordanian culture, share insight into American culture, and discuss challenges common to both societies. The Building Peace by Building Homes trip to Jordan will end with visits to Petra (one of the modern 7 Wonders of the World) and the Dead Sea.

The trip is the first in a series of three Building Peace by Building Homes trips that CL will lead in 2012 [Additional trips to Tajikistan (May) and Indonesia (July) are still being planned]. For more information visit: http://unofficialambassadors.com/get-involved/buil ding-peace-by-building-homes/, or contact AUA trip leader, Andrew Stinson, at AndrewS@creativelearning.org.
