4-H Peace Corps Projects A Peace Corps experience is something to be remembered. The volunteers in the original Brazil 4-S project felt this was particularly true of their experience. They were the pioneer group in Brazil, blazing a trail for others to follow, and setting standards of performance for others to emulate. They reached out into the interior of Brazil; exposing many rural people to the first Americans they had ever seen. They helped to introduce a significant education program, 4-S Club work into many rural communities. They have shared the fun and laughter, the sweat and toil, the hopes and dreams, and the sorrows and fears of many new found friends across this infinite country. Brazil will always be their second home! They have had their share of problems and of satisfactions. The joy of success and the struggle of adversity have drawn them together, fostering a spirit of friendship, loyalty and esprit de corps. These things are worth remembering. In this book, the volunteers have attempted to preserve by word and picture some r The Brazil 4-S Peace Corps project provided the first opportunity for the U.S. 4-H Club Movement to actively assist with the development of a counterpart rural youth movement abroad. The National 4-H Club Foundation has been pleased to share in this effort with the volunteers and the Peace Corps. It has been a source of great satisfaction to follow the successful efforts of this group. We commend the work of the Brazil I volunteers, and shall enjoy having this picture book as a reminder of our association with them over the past two years. |
