This book provides a glimpse of some of the most memorable experiences in the lives of 74 Tanzania-5 Peace Corps Volunteers in the 1960s as they ventured into the little-known cultures of a country striving to enter the modern world.
Told in their own words, this diversity of stories form a mosaic of life as the volunteers go about their work and play in towns, villages, and the bush. A total of 58 short stories describing key memories are clustered as “Recruitment and Training, Life in the Bush, Village Life, Urban Life, Work Assignments, Travel and Transport, Social Encounters, Health, and Post Peace Corps Stories.
A common thread in most of the stories is how the experiences of the volunteers influenced their perspectives, careers and lives as illustrated in the final section of the book which is devoted to biographies and accomplishments. Looking back nearly sixty years later, none of the surviving volunteers regretted their service. Many commented it was the most exciting time of their lives.
