Author Description

"The stories presented in this book have been written by Peace Corps Volunteers who were directly involved in the Ethiopian program. These stories provide a treasure trove of insights into their work, living conditions and the substantial challenges they faced almost on a daily basis. It is an inspiration to read of their dedication, as well as their creative efforts to resolve problems that others may have viewed as insolvable. This book is an important addition to the historical record about the first human disease to be eradicated"--Page 4 of cover.
