This is accomplished through meeting three goals: (1) To help the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women; (2) To help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served; and (3) To help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans. Although there is no formal "library" work assignment for volunteers, library and book-related projects are some of the most common secondary projects of PC volunteers. Volunteers have been involved in library projects across the world since the first volunteers arrived in Ghana in 1961, and continue to support library development to this day. The article examines the various projects, cultural challenges, and resources needed to start libraries throughout the various PC missions. |
