"Life in the Peace Corps will not be easy. There will be no salary and allowances will be at a level sufficient only to maintain health and meet basic needs. Men and women will be expected to work and live alongside the nationals of the country in which they are stationed—doing the same work, eating the same food, talking the same language.
But if the life will not be easy, it will be rich and satisfying. For every young American who participates in the Peace Corps—who works in a foreign land—will know that he or she is sharing in the great common task of bringing to man that decent way of life which is the foundation of freedom and a condition of peace."
John F. Kennedy, 1961
Ian, enjoyed looking through your pictures including the community analysis. Interesting, the look on the faces of your work group. Looks like everyone was really into it. Hope you are well. Hope to talk soon! Aunt Stacy
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much progress you have made on your house! It looks great! Must be an experience going out to the forest to get lumber, not Home Depot. Talk about cutting out the middle man! Great work.
ReplyDeleteLooking at your steamy tropical jungle makes all the snow here feel even colder. It is actually really pretty here too. Miss you! Mom
