Peace Corps Job Descriptions

If we have been distant or become distant from anyone, we send our apologies. These past few days and even weeks have been really time consuming to say the least. It has been really crazy; moving out of our apartment, storing personal items, selling personal items, quitting our jobs, selling my truck, trying to figure out what to pack for two years, etc. This might sound like complaining, but it's exactly what we've been doing. So I thought I'd fill you in on what our job descriptions are;

Patty: Children, Youth and Families (CYF). "The overall purpose of the CYF project is to empower children, youth and families living in adverse conditions to lead positive roles in their family lives, their communities and the world of work; and to empower individuals to be leaders in their communities in order to lead healthy compitent lives in the future."

Tony: Rural Community Development (RCD). "The overall purpose of the RCD project is to promote local community development in poor, rural areas in order to empower the communities to improve their lives and take advantage of existing resources, assets, and opportunities".

These are both textbook descriptions from what the Peace Corps sent us, but we hope to have a first hand description within the next 4 months.
