Admission is free, and no one under age 18 will be admitted. Dedicated volunteers will love eace Corps tough experience By VICKI DAUGHTRY Staff Writer If you have a strong desire to promote world peace and understanding, Dan O'Brien can tell you about "the toughest job youll ever love." UNC's Peace Corps recruiter, O'Brien is a return Peace Corps volunteer who worked in the Dominican Republic and Nepal. The Peace Corps is very competitive, with one out of every six applicants accepted, he said. Peace Corps applicants must meet special standards, including weight and height limits, and possess certain qualities, O'Brien said. "Flexibility is the key word," he said. "Volunteers must be altruistic and non-complainers." The Peace Corps accepts physically handicapped applicants if they meet the requirements. After being accepted, applicants are trained for three months. "During this three months, you are given the option to back out," O'Brien said. "The purpose of the training is to condition you to the type of environment you will be living in and the type of work that is expected of a volunteer." Although their jobs are very rewarding, Peace Corps volunteers must tolerate not-so-perfect conditions, O'Brien said. "A volunteer must be able to cope with a certain amount of isolation and loneliness," he said. "The food in some countries takes a great deal of getting used to." Volunteers never are completely isolated. They receive Newsweek and usually can receive some radio station. And they can keep in touch with family and friends, although correspondence may take a long time to reach the volunteers. "Volunteers face frustrations, also," O'Brien said. "Many times villagers do not have the same priorities as the volunteers. For example, volunteers often set up latrines to improve the health of a community. However, village women in some countries have been known not to use them because they say the men can see their feet and will be able to tell who they are." O'Brien thinks any volunteer will return with a greater understanding of the country and culture with which he or she associated. The hardest part of being a volunteer is "coming back and adjusting to this culture," he said. "You realize that not a lot of people share your values," O'Brien said. "As a volunteer, you learn to be resourceful, so, when you return to the States, you get frustrated with the wasteful society." Most return volunteers get involved in community talks about the Peace Corps and their experiences. "Once you're back, it's hard to believe the other world exists," said Mary Champagne, return Peace Corps volunteer. An assistant professor in nursing secondary care at UNC, she and her husband spent three years in Afghanistan. As a volunteer, she said, she gained a real appreciation for different cultures. "I learned what it was like to be a real minority," Champagne said. "Over all, you definitely learn more than you give. "When we arrived, we were met with a prejudice which stemmed from misunderstanding," she said. "Children would throw things at us when we walked by because they didn't understand why we were there. Once they saw the work we were doing was for their benefit, the positive response was overwhelming. "By living with these people for so long, we learned that there were certain universal values that we all shared," she added. "It is definitely an adventure. You can broaden yourself as a human being by being a Peace Corps volunteer," Champagne said. "But you have to want to do it." O'Brien agreed that a strong desire to be a Peace Corps volunteer is necessary. "Although the Peace Corps is competitive, there is a need for more quality volunteers," he said. "Volunteers are representatives of this country. Quality volunteers can tear down misconceptions about the United States by showing them what the typical American is like." Carolyn Hill, a senior from Denton, is interested in becoming a Peace Corps volunteer in the next few years. "IVe had four years of education and books, but I think the Peace Corps would broaden my knowledge of the world and its people," she said. "As a citizen of the United States, I feel I have the responsibility to promote peace." Hill feels a spiritual responsibility to be a Peace Corps volunteer, although the Peace Corps is not a religion based organization. "My call as a Christian is to be a peacemaker," she concluded. "I can't prevent a war or decide foreign policy, but as one person I can go to another country and establish a peace relationship, even if it's with just one person." Anyone interested in the Peace Corps should contact O'Brien at his office in the Hillel Foundation. The Yoga Place 452 W.
