Richard H. Dalrymple served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Mali from June 1975 to May 1977 in a pit silo project. He was stationed in Gourma-Rharous on the Niger River in the Tombouctou region of the country. The project made it possible for forage grasses harvested during the rainy season to be stored and fed to cows during the following dry season, to provide nourishing milk for the children. Dalrymple worked with a counterpart for two years, and the pit silo technology continued to be used after he completed his service. He also worked on other projects including a non-profit restaurant that funded the planting of trees and the construction of sewage trenches. After the Peace Corps, Dalrymple worked for the United Nations World Food Program for 30 years. He states that it is important for all Americans to learn about the underdeveloped world and to support development.
