| Let Us Honor Those Who Led the Way & Events that Shaped Our Lives |
Former State Rep. and WON founder Pan
Godchaux has returned to the Peace Corps
for a second tour. Her first was immediately
after college and took her to Bolivia. This time she's
been assigned to Moldova, one of the former Soviet
Socialist Republics. It is sandwiched between
Romania and the Ukraine. Pan is maintaining a blog
at pangodchaux.blogspot.com to keep us abreast of
her adventures. She recently completed 10 weeks of
intensive language training and has been sworn in
as a Peace Corps volunteer.
Moldova is about the size of Maryland (13,000 sq.
miles), but its population is 25% smaller (4 million). It
is a very poor country, having a GDP per person
similar to that of Pakistan and Nicaragua. Pan is
living in a house with no running water or indoor
plumbing.
Meanwhile, Pan's friend Susan Safford is now a
Peace Corps volunteer in Romania. She's working
with the EPA to educate students about various
ecological concerns. Language learning seems to
have been a bit easier for her than for Pan. Susie's
standard of living looks a lot more comfortable, too.
