"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 - 1963
Loved the pics! Wow! Huge workshop! There you are, working right to the end! Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteKevina, what a life you two are carving out. I fear when you come back to the land of TV; you are going to show some tolerance! I love the professional side of what you are doing; and the social side. The pictures and stories are a glimpse into daily life in a culture that few of us have ever experienced. It truly is not easy, yet the rewards do come easily- because you earned them. Your blog is one of the highlights of my day! Love Dad Hughes xxoxoxoxo
