Personal Volunteer Websites

Here are a few websites created by Peace Corps volunteers worldwide. I have selected these sites because they bear a close resemblance to the purpose mine was serving.

My point is that my use of the Internet to communicate with friends and family is neither unique nor limited to a few isolated cases. There are several hundred websites that were created by Peace Corps volunteers for the purpose of sharing their experiences with friends and family.
