I volunteered with CARE Corps / CCS in Ayacucho back in 2001 - I think it was in December... How much the program has grown it seems and this web community looks great. Still hope to get back to Ayacucho to experience Semana Santa at some point! S...

Profile Information
- About me:
- I'm currently finishing my thesis for a MS degree in International Development Studies. My volunteer experience with CARE Corps / CCS back in 2001 was the first of many travel and cross-cultural learning experiences. I have since studied in Costa Rica and the Netherlands and lived and worked in Poland, South Africa and Tanzania. My most recent work was research carried out with smallholder farmers in northern and central Tanzania for my thesis. I still look back fondly and appreciatively of the learning experience from that first small stint volunteering internationally in Ayacucho, Peru - it was the first stepping stone on my career path.

Dear Patricia
I hope you are feeling better and that you are able to go to South Africa as planned. However, I will be there from 2/27-3/20 just incase your plans are pushed back :)
