Tues, March 1, marks 50 years since the announcement of Peace Corps founding by John Kennedy on the steps of the U of Michigan. Of the many events planned, the international staff can choose to be a volunteer for a day. To this end I issued an invitation to any Lusaka staff to stay with me in Mpepo for the day and Sally Rose accepted the challenge. She will draw water from the well, cook on a brazier, and talk to girls at school about Club Glow. I just hope she owns a pair of comfortable shoes!
It is thrilling to celebrate this occasion in the bush! Here I am in the birth place of homosapiens, jazz and soul! Pinch me, somebody! On March 1, 1961 I was in Washington DC for our 8th grade class trip.
