Peace Corps volunteers experience adventure and challenge every day
as they serve in communities around the world. They leave a legacy
and a better understanding of the United States in their host
countries, and they come back home as changed persons. As
volunteers share their experiences back home, they change us as
well, helping Americans better understand other cultures and
peoples. In telling their stories, Peace Corps volunteers also
convey the essence of community service. Not only are volunteers
trained professionals, but they are also dedicated Americans who
share a spirit of service and a commitment to making a difference
in the lives of the people they serve. Peace Corps volunteers wrote
the stories in this book to an audience of classroom students in
the United States. The letters are intended to help U.S. students
get to know and understand other cultures. Peace Corps volunteers
agree to serve in order to meet the three goals of the agency: to
provide assistance to the peoples of other countries, to help the
people of other countries better understand Americans, and to help
Americans better understand other peoples. This book helps fulfil
the agency's third goal through remarkable stories by volunteers in
the field. This book consists of public domain documents which have
been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a
subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.
