Barbara Ann Sterling served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Honduras from January 1979 to December 1980 in a rural pilot school program. Her training took place in La Guacima, Costa Rica. She and her husband lived in Taulabe, in the mountainous region of Honduras. Both of them worked to teach rural schools how to establish vegetable gardens and grow crops. In addition, Sterling gave health talks and built improved wood stoves at the schools. The Peace Corps volunteers were also expected to promote a wheat soy blend to improve nutrition, but the product was not accepted by Sterling's community. After the Peace Corps, she pursued a federal career with the Bureau of Land Management.
