I was an Environmental Education Volunteer posted to Santa Rita de Guayabal
on the slopes of Volcan Baru in Chiriqui. Although primarily concerned
with training teachers, I was involved in reforestation projects, development
of a community health center, and helped initiate Panama Verde nationally and
locally with the first pilot group in Chiriqui.
Since leaving Panama, I've been employed at the World Bank working as a
liaison to the NGO community. It's been interesting--most NGOs and
civil society groups are highly critical of Bank projects (as am I) but
I'm excited to be in a position to bring NGOs and CBOs to the table to have a
policy dialogue and look for ways to improve the Bank's poverty alleviation
programs rather than complain about them.

From: Ray
Doherty Subject: Fw: Landmine Survey
I
am a member of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), which was
the recipient of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize. The ICBL is coordinated by a
committee of 16 organizations, bringing together over 1,300 human rights,
humanitarian, children's, peace, disarmament, veteran's and women's groups in
more than 75 countries. At this time, I am conducting a survey of Peace Corps
who had served in areas affected by anti-personnel landmines in Panama and
other countries in the Americas. Information gathered will be included in a
final report before relevant international organizations which will meet in
Oslo, Norway in May '99.
Here
are the survey questions for PC volunteers:
1)
Did you serve in areas where anti-personnel landmines were deployed? If so,
where?
2) To your knowledge, what impact (if any) did these landmines have on local
communities' - economic development - agricultural production
3) Which areas were rendered unusable due to landmine deployment?
4) Were you aware of any injuries or deaths due to landmines on home-country
nationals? Please specify numbers of injuries and/or deaths.
5) Other comments you would like to include regarding landmine deployments in
your country of service.
6) Name: Country of Service: Dates of Service: Address in the U.S./current
telephone/e-mail address

Minnesota RPCV's welcome your group to the 1999 NPCA conference!
RE:
Seeking information for the 1999 Peace Corps Conference
The
Minnesota RPCV’s would like to extend to your group a warm welcome to the
1999 Peace Corps Conference to be held at the University of St. Thomas in St.
Paul, MN August 12 - 15. In order to make it a success for all participants,
we are in the process of gathering information concerning space requirements
and speaker nominations from the Country of Service groups. In the proposed
time table, Friday afternoon will begin with a one and a half hour session
devoted to regional updates. (See enclosed discussion of the session below.)
Following the session, an hour and a half will be dedicated for the specific
use of Country of Service groups. (No other sessions are scheduled during
that time.) The evening has been left open for additional time for
socializing, possibly at a ethnic restaurant.
In
order to better serve the needs of your group and members, we request that
you provide us with the following information.
1.
Will your group require space during the afternoon session? 2. How many
people do you expect to attend? 3. Are there any special needs which need to
be accommodated? (i.e., accessibility, equipment) 4. Will your group be
meeting at a restaurant that evening? What number should be planned for? 5.
Name and contact information (including e-mail address) of a Minnesota group
member who is willing to coordinate your group’s activities. 6. Nominations
for the Regional Update Discussions.
Please
respond by no later than December 10, 1998 to ensure that your group’s needs
can be accommodated. All responses should identify the Country of Service
group name and be directed to jamckmiPCPF@aol.com.
(Note: To use email address, remove
"PCPF".)
Thanks for
your input! We look forward to hosting your group at the Conference!
Inella M. Jack
& Erik Streed Minnesota RPCV's Program Committee - Country of Service
Groups
Regional
Update Discussions
The planning
committee for the 1999 Peace Corps Conference is in the process of organizing
Regional Update Discussions (RUDs) for the Friday afternoon session.
We envision
that the RUDs will consist of a group facilitator leading a discussion on the
economic, social, and environmental development issues of the region and how
current events, politics, economics, etc. are affecting development in the
region.
All past and
present Peace Corps countries will fit into one of the proposed regions. The
regions are intended to be small enough so that the countries included will
have similar issues. Following is the current breakdown of regions - this
list may change as more information becomes available:
Caribbean
South America Central America South-east Asia Central Asia South Pacific East
Africa Southern Africa Eastern Europe West Africa Newly Independent States
(ex-USSR)
In order for
these RUDs to be informative and educational for RPCVs, we will need to find
facilitators who have recently worked in, or are currently active in,
development related work in each specific region. People working with Peace
Corps, State Department, US AID, NGOs, etc. would be suitable candidates, as
well as writers and possibly business people with development experience.
RPCVs would be desirable but not mandatory.
At this time
we are seeking only nominations for potential group facilitators. As no one
will be reimbursed in any way, it is realistic to expect that group
facilitators will be either RPCVs or people from the Minnesota area. The
conference planning committee will make any formal invitations.
We appreciate
your help and interest.
Further
information concerning the RUDs can be obtained by writing to StreedePCPF@aol.com.
