| Each one “pledged to work” the day he/her signed his Peace Corps application. We trained for five months. The days grew long while we studied Portuguese and learned of Dom Pedro, but free hours seemed so short when we rested and speculated about our yet-to-come adventures in Brazil. We listened to those who had “been there”, and tried to draw all the bits of information together to form a complete picture of what to expect, what we would do and how to do that task. At the end of our Peace Corps training program we received our partner and work site assignments. Then we were ready to work. |
