"Return to the Other Side of the World" - How the Peace Corps Transformed Lives in 1960s India

NEW YORK - March 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Return to the time when a group of Peace Corps volunteers responded to President Kennedy’s call to work in foreign lands, banding together to make the world a better place. In this second volume containing the memoirs of those days, former volunteers of India 44 share their experiences as they tried to live out the assassinated president’s noble ideal.

Take another memorable journey to the challenging culture that was India in the late 1960s. As with their first volume, this is not a feel-good testimony to the Peace Corps. The feelings expressed are raw and revealing, yet also touch upon moments that are funny, sad, embarrassing, and uplifting.

In telling their stories, they bring us back to a turbulent period in history, a time of war in Vietnam and discontent at home. With more energy than skills, the young men and women of the Peace Corps lived and worked in small villages and towns doing agricultural development or public health. These are the stories of the volunteers as they share what remains an unforgettable and transformative period in their lives.
