During the first several months of service in our town, a large part of our job was to perform what Peace Corps calls a "Community Diagnostic" whereby volunteers analyze the economic, political and social landscape of their sites through various information gathering activities. Some of these activities include interviews, surveys, attending town meetings, library research, informal conversations, and group activities. We put together a brief PowerPoint presentation of our town, which includes information on health, geography, history, economy, youth, etc. If you go through the presentation in the mode which shows "speaker notes" (under the "Action" tab at the bottom of the presentation) you will be able to understand the slides more easily since each slide is accompanied with commentary. We will soon be completing and publishing a more thorough version of the diagnostic in report format.
Hope you enjoy learning a little bit more about our site!

Wow, you guys! Funny finding you here! I went to check on Micah and Alisha's site, and there was a link to yours. Micah graduated from the UWM Spanish program the year before I did, and went to Peru in June '08. Do you know them?
Que bueno! Voy a leer un poco sobre su estancia en Peru. Me interesa mucho saber lo que estan haciendo alli.
Abrazos, Karyn
