Six-Word Winners of Peace Corps Writers Contest!
I enjoyed thinking about then writing a six worder about the impact of my water project. Good contest.
The winning Six-Word Stories selected by noted RPCV novelist, Richard Wiley (Korea 1967-69) are . . .
Arrived tired. Mali inspired. Living unmired.
by Bill Moseley (Mali 1987-89)
Piped water frees girls for school.
by Bob Gribbin (Kenya 1968-70)
Peru: She returned with blinders off.
by Patricia (Silke) Edmisten (Peru 1962-64)
In making his selection, Richard Wiley writes, “I read them all a dozen or more times, and came up with three that I like best, two of which seem to emphasize what being in the Peace Corps did for the volunteer (and writer!), and one that highlighted a good Peace Corps outcome for the country.What was hard about this was deciding how I wanted to order these final three. It was a very close call. Thank you for allowing me to have a role in this and congratulations to the winners.
Hearty congratulations to all the entrants!
