Your TurnREADERS WRITE USLetters to the EditorIguess I have been readingWorldView for longer than I careto acknowledge… but I willreadily acknowledge that I have beencontinually impressed with the qualityand currency of its content. First-ratepublication, for sure, and one thatshould be on required reading lists forany serious student pursing a curriculumin international development or crossculturalunderstanding.Elizabeth Tunkle’s commentary inthe Summer 2010 issue, “SpeakingMy Truth: HIV positive and serving asa Peace Corps Volunteer,” moved andimpressed me more than any article Ihave read in all these decades.

All good wishes to her!Dr. Steven J. Noble (Tunisia 68-70)Former Assistant Dean,Columbia UniversityGraduate School of International andPublic AffairsIabsolutely agree with the article“The Third Goal is Our FirstGoal,” that the third goal of PeaceCorps is hardly addressed as thoroughlyas the first and second, and is in direneed of more attention.There is an untapped resource thatPeace Corps has not used to its advantage:blogs. Blogs are becoming more andmore popular, especially in an era whereidle time is spent surfing the Web andwatching YouTube videos. But we asVolunteers are almost deterred fromkeeping a blog because of all the work wehave to do to get it cleared.This organization is filled with manytalented people, including gifted writerswho write intriguing, insightful, tasteful,and humorous blogs about their PeaceCorps experience. But almost all ofthese people have their blogs passwordprotected because it is pretty muchthe only option volunteers have, thusseverely reducing the number of peoplethey are able to reach. Selecting a fewblogs from each country to be placed ina more public domain or encouragingVolunteers to keep a blog are cheap andeasy solutions to the neglected third goalof Peace Corps.Paula OsbornPeace Corps Ukraine10 WorldView Fall 2010 National Peace Corps Association
