Wonderful experience - after the radical 60s/early 70s, it helped me, as well

at least as much as we give through Peace Corps service.

Anyone from Swaziland. So many great people!

Keep volunteering! I recently discovered our local RPCV group and helped

Wish I could have done more to integrate the lessons to teach the students
to think and study how they could use this knowledge to better their lifes
and be more independent. To be proud of who they are and that only they
can raise above their problems by their own efforts and stop depending on
others. Was surprised to learn how well some of my former students have
done for themselves (Parliment Speaker, fire cheif, Head of Genetics for
Ustutu Pulp, etc).
