I had raised a technology training component with the Peace Corps several years ago, in the context of their proposed legislation to increase its size. Think that all PC Volunteers could benefit,k as well as their assignments, by having a solid grounding in local CTCs and CNs. Also think there could well be some special "team" assignments in countries with PCs to support the CTC and CN efforts of the local volunteers teaching, doing health, community development, etc. Don Samuelson Peace Corps - Nigeria IV 1962 - 1964
Hi, Katrin, the CTC VISTA Project is the most popular program in the AmeriCorps recruitment system and has generally been considered a good example of supportive volunteerism in the U.S. There's been some interest in exploring some of our programmatic features internationally and we've had sporadic exchanges with the Peace Corps in this regard as well. Apart from our six month reports <www.cpcs.umb.edu/vista/projectreports.html> and site visit evaluations from the Corporation for National and Community Service, the Trotter Institute undertook a program evaluation a few years ago; it's at <www.cpcs.umb.edu/vista/finaltrottereval.htm>. best, ----peter _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
