Upon successful com

ptoly spoke Maguindanao.
During her second year,

tion and drug abuse to
community workers and
other students at Silliman
University of Dumaguete
on the island of Negros.
She also continued work
ing on an international
book drive which she had
started on Mindanao. '
"Shortly after I started
working on the Island, I
asked where the library
was and was shocked to
find that there wasn't any.
This was a large communi
ty and there weren't any
books for the public," she
recounts. Mrs. Edwards
asked for book donations .
from organizations . toi
which she belonged such
as the Urban League and

She worked with a small
Islamic tride of Badjaos
who were known as "Sea
Gypsies" because they live
on their fishing boats.
"They sold their fish to
buy rice for their families.
The children were beginn
ing to go blind and had
sores on their bodies and
old wrinkled faces from a
diet of rice and
bananas, "she recalls.
"I visited with the
mothers twice a week, try
ing to get them to unders
tand the value of fish in
their family diet and the
need for better nutrition,"
When people started
getting books, we found
out other needs of the peo
ple, including scholarship
funds to go to school,"
says Ms. Edwards. With
donations from the World
Faith Mission, an interna
tional Pentecostal mission
headquartered in
Oakland, California, and
Zeta Phi Beta, she started
a scholarship fund named
the Sandra Karen Ed
wards Scholarship Fund
by Silliman University. ;
Ms. Edwards will be
engaged in the Fellows
framing program for the
next twelve months,
followed by a thirty
month overseas assign
ment as a Peace Corps
staff member. She will
receive a thorough orien
tation that will qualify her
as an associate Peace
Corps director, training
officer or program of
ficer. She feels that the pro
gram is a "good oppor
tuntiy" for her and the re-
onf-ie-rft ' Peace corps
volunteers "are good for
the ' program. Our
volunteer experience is so
fresh in our minds and we
have a lot of enthusiasm.
A, volunteer goes through
so many changes over
comes culture shock,
adapts to different
cultures and people. In a
sense, you are under some
stress," maintains Ms.
Edwards.
"I think that it is impor
tant that the Peace Corps
volunteers know that there
is someone who
understands what they are
going through and really
cares."
