During the week of June 25 – 30, 2007 members of our Brazil I 4-S Project gathered in the city of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico to celebrate its 45th Anniversary. The reunion site was a collaboration of the Department of Sports and Recreation of Puerto Rico’s Leadership Training Center (CECADER) located at the former Ramey Air Force Base. This reunion was organized in part by RPCV Gloria Lyons before she died a few months prior to the gathering. The final organization was done by RPCVs Juan E. Rosario and Esther Diaz from Brazil I, and Dr. Jose M. Huerta [Dominican Republic], Garred Giles [Ecuador and Colombia] and Miriam Acevedo [Ecuador] During that time we had the opportunity to share experiences, visit various locations in the neighborhood. |
Our mission is to somehow preserve the history and legacy of the first and subsequent U.S. Peace Corps 4-H Projects to Brazil. Historical information and photographic facts of our project in Brazil is included as well from many of our reunions.
