What is it like to be a Peace Corps volunteer?
On Returning Home- Notes from a Peace Corps Volunteer:
From the Savvy Travler comes an clip aired on NPR about a PCV (Peace Corps lingo for a volunteer) in Benin. She is preparing to end her service and discusses what its like to be a volunteer in Africa and the difficulties of ending her service and returning home. I have never been to west Africa but what she says is amazing- it could have been my service she was talking about.
Visiting with a Peace Corps Volunteer
A Day with Sister Agnes:
Check out this radio diary / flash presentation about a HIV/AIDS nurse in the Soweto hospital. Soweto stands for the south west townships and is one of the largest townships in South Africa. The hospital, Baragwanath Hospital, is the largest in the world. They can see 2,000 AIDS paitents in a day. Often there is little they can do. The drugs to treat HIV are not free and hardly anyone can afford them.
