Colin Bauer '02 -- Grenada, 2002-
Works with the Grenada Scouts Association on community and youth development projects. "Many people who join Peace Corps feel that they will save the world, help people who are impoverished to live a better life. But being a PCV really means to share experiences, build relatioships, and work together for a common cause. There is a large difference in wanting to help and wanting to give. Small things such as cleaning eggs with the chicken farmers may not seem to mean much, but I have realized that it is not the cleaning of the eggs that is important --- it is spending time with each other that makes it worthwhile."

Nicole Case '94 --- South Africa, 1999-2001

F. J. Cava '92 --- Gabon, 1994-97
Manager of community health workers

Ann Cohen '76 --- Marshall Islands, 1989-91
Taught English and public health

Bill Kolberg, associate professor of economics --- Belize, 1971-3
Worked as a bookkeeper and organizer with a farmers' cooperative and worked with a 4H group as well. "I was a late bloomer. My experiences in the Peace Corps helped in my maturing process. For example, there was no TV where I lived, so
I began reading seriously for the first time while I was in Belize. Ever since, reading has been a big part of my life. I lived and worked on my own, with no supervision. In Peace Corps service, the positions we are given are much more responsible than in any other first job. My whole perspective was dramatically changed. It was an exciting experience, very profound."

Don Lifton, associate professor of business administration --- Brazil, 1967-69
Worked with a federal agency distributing food in rural areas, especially through schools. "We realized that if we could get food into the schools, children would come to school because they could get a meal there. Sometimes there was no food at home." After his service, Lifton went back to work for the Peace Corps as a staff trainer of volunteers.

Aisha Lope de Haro-Salleh '99 --- Bangladesh, 2000-2

Sybil Metz, assistant director of Campus Center --- Honduras, 1999-2000
"I thoroughly enjoyed my Peace Corps ex-perience. Now I often meet with students who are thinking of applying for PC. (Megan Tetrick '03, below; worked for Metz.)"

Sarah Chase Moskowitz '88 --- Guatemala, 1988-91
Worked with Mayan Kekchi Indian girls and women in a project of the agriculture ministry. "I extended my stay for a year because my project was going so well."

Kevin Murphy, professor of English --- Republic of Korea, 1968-69
"I taught English at Seoul National University during the academic year and worked with the Korea branch of the World Health Organization as a malaria case detector in North Kyongsang Province during the summer vacations."

John Wolohan, associate professor of sport management and media --- Cameroon, 1985-86
Worked at an agricultural extension farm where families would stay for 10 months learning farming techniques and other information. "They would in turn teach their fellow villagers, and I would do follow-up visits. With a rice company I put fingerling fish into the rice fields; when they harvested the rice they also harvested the fish to supplement their diet. I also taught English at the local grammar school.

"One little kid in my village broke his leg, ended up getting gangrene, then lost his leg, and then lost his life. There are so many things that we take for granted."

Megan Tetrick '03 --- Ukraine, 2003-
Months after graduation, journalism/politics major Tetrick is heading to Ukraine, where she is told she will be teaching Eng-lish in a high school in a yet-to-be-named location. "I'll have to learn Russian or Ukraine (possibly both) in three months before they dump me in a community on my own," she wrote in an e-mail. "I'll probably end up doing things besides teaching English, such as working on community development projects." We look forward to reading about her work in future "Class Notes."
