Reseña del libro "Letters Home: A Young Peace Corps Volunteer's Account of Personal, Cultural, and Bureaucratic Struggles in the '60s (en Inglés)"
Letters Home is a collection of letters written from Barranquilla, Colombia to Austin, Texas by a Peace Corps volunteer in the 1960's. Her personal account details the journey of an optimistic, naive young woman embarking on an adventure that is fraught with multiple obstacles including health problems, personnel problems, and the initial absence of program support. At the point of resigning, she is offered an opportunity to partner with the local CARE representative to establish a pilot preschool feeding center. Finally with determination and hard work a project is launched that eventually attracts the attention of local politicians and becomes a widespread nutrition program for thousands of children. While immersed in the project development, she finds romance and a future she never expected.
