Key Pal
Peace Corps Pen Pal Program?
I’m the secretary of my high school’s Key CLub, and we would like to organize a pen pal exchange with kids from another country. We’re also hoping to get former Peace Corps Volunteer to come and speak at one of our meetings, so we’d like for the pen pal exchange to be related to the peace corps.
Does anyone know how I can contact a current Peace Corps volunteer who is working as a teaching, so I can find out if they’d be interested in a pen pal exchange? I know the Peace Corps has their school of world wide learning where teachers can contact PCVs but its not a pen pal program.
Thanks!
I know from personal experience that the supply of RPCVs with slides to show and stories to tell FAR exceeds the demand. If you are within 150 miles of Stanislaus County, California, write to me via my profile and I’ll come and talk to your group.
If not, go to
http://www.peacecorpsconnect.org/resources/member-groups/
find a RPCV group in your state / area, write to them and ask.
Pen pals are tougher. Most PCVs work 60 hour weeks and don’t blog a lot. The PC recruiting office in your area might be able to put you in contact with someone from your area who is now a PCV and teaching secondary school somewhere. (You’d need someone like that – someone who knows secondary school students who are fluent in English – unless your high school students are fluent in Quechua, Swahili or Iban.)

Phil Collins – Live & Loose in Paris $6.62 If Phil Collins isn’t the hardest-working man in show business, he’s right up there, at least if this nearly 90-minute concert is any indication. The man is nonstop motion, whether seated behind his drum kit, prowling the stage as frontman (the format is in-the-round, so it takes an effort to keep all of the arena-sized audience involved), or, of course, singing the hits (including “Against All Od… |

Celine Dion: The Colour of My Love Concert $5.95 Filmed in Quebec in 1995, this concert souvenir captures Celine Dion as she turned the corner from pop contender to platinum princess. Long a star in Canada, and a major draw throughout the Francophone world, the Québecois vocalist was still a relatively new, if increasingly successful, commodity stateside. A clutch of single hits, augmented by two big soundtrack themes, hadn’t entirely erased … |
