JARED'S PEACE CORPS PROJECTS

me and a friend

"Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example." — Mark Twain


Great I am glad you are still here.....

Peace Corps is not your typical job, actually they say that, "it is the toughest jDominican familyob you'll ever love." I have certainly loved it but will admit it has not been easy. From the day I arrived in the country with almost no spanish and having to figure out why the lights went out till helping with the Hurricane Georges cleanup. Every day waking up to something new is what kept me going. I am very grateful to Peace Corps for giving me this opportunity.

I was assigned to the Puerto Plata Chamber of Commerce as my primary project. I workeblasina and med mostly with the strengthening of the Chamber. Luckily, I had an amazing counterpart, Blasina, who made all the difference in my successful two years. Not only was she a coworker but a mother to me. She guided me more then I ever could thank her. Besides working at the chamber of commerce I had various secondary projects. Robert Kennedy once said, "few will have the greatness to bend history, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and the total of the acts will be written the history of this generation." I hope that with the small things I have done here that I have made that small difference. Listed below (click on them) are a few little things I have done.
