Reminiscences from Peace Corps Volunteers

Thousands volunteered to serve, and from 1962 to 1978 nearly 500 Peace Corps Volunteers served in Somalia, mostly on two-year assignments. They worked in agriculture, in school construction, in medical fields, in education, and even in legal fields.

Overwhelmingly, these Volunteers agree that Somalia gave them more than they could ever have given Somalia.

In this issue of our journal we are pleased to publish the reminiscences of a few of these individuals.
