Phil and Carol Arnold signed up to be Peace Corps volunteers after
long and satisfying careers with the federal government. Peace
Corps assigned them to Ukraine to serve as English teachers in one
of the most charming cities in Eastern Europe - Sevastopol on the
Southern tip of the Crimean Peninsula. In this collection of
essays, journal entries, and correspondence, Phil and Carol paint a
compelling picture of day-to-day life as Peace Corps volunteers
serving as English teachers. Their personal motto - "Just say yes"
yes to every offer of hospitality, yes to each invitation no matter
how tired they were or how seemingly boring or unfamiliar the
activity - led to many rich and rewarding experiences. In these
pages, you will read about the Peace Corps experience from the
perspective of someone more than 30 years older than the typical
volunteer. You will experience the naivete and frustrations of
trying to blend into a new culture, the stress of learning a new
language, and the satisfaction of ending a two-year service
commitment with many new friends and a job well and meaningfully
done.
