JARED'S PEACE CORPS PROJECTS
Great I am glad you are still here.....
Peace Corps is not
your typical job, actually they say that, "it is the
toughest job
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 worked
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.
