The letters are intended to help U.S. students get to know and understand other cultures. Peace Corps volunteers agree to serve in order to meet the three goals of the agency: to provide assistance to the peoples of other countries, to help the people of other countries better understand Americans, and to help Americans better understand other peoples. This book helps fulfill the agency?s third goal through remarkable stories by volunteers in the field. 410 0$aAmerica in the 21st Century: Political and Economic Issues 606 $aTechnical assistance, American$zDeveloping countries$vCase studies 615 0$aTechnical assistance, American 676 $a361.6 701 $aCoverdell$b Paul D.$f1961-$01710990 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824255303321 996 $aCrossing cultures--stories of the Peace Corps experience$94102009 997 $aUNINA
