Country of Service: Niger

Training Group: Niger 5

Cities you served in: N'Dounga and Niamey, Niger

Arrival Year: 1966

Departure Year: 1967

Work Description: Rural construction (ecole practique, well digging

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

When I returned to the US in '67, during the height of the Viet Nam war
build-up, I immediately re-enrlolled in college. During that time I got
married and have two chidren. They are now grown up and have children
of their own...I have a total of seven grandchildren. After graduating I
passed the licensing exam and have practiced architecture since 1975.
Most recently my career pursuits have lead me to an alternate career in
telecommunications. I've worked for: MCI designing and building
microwave facilities in Michigan, Ohio and Illinois; for AT&T designing and
erecting wireless base stations in both the Chicago Loop and downtown
Taipei, Taiwan. After returning again to the States I was hired by Sprint
PCS to manage wireless tower construction in northern Illinois,
north-western Pennsylvania and north-eastern Ohio. I now have an
opportunity to do the same type of work for a communications company
in Nigeria. This assignment is still pending but I am truly excited about

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.
