Volunteers were busy on two fronts in the area of health, protecting their own health and working with health and sanitation programs in their communities. PCV’s received countless numbers of shots and sat for a variety of lectures on tropical diseases, rural sanitation and first aid. As part of our job with 4-S Club work, we worked with first aid courses, vaccination campaigns, teaching of sanitation, personal hygiene and principles of nutrition. |
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.
