Description
Paul Clark served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Fiji from 2005 to 2007 in an environmental program. Prior to joining Peace Corps, he served in the U.S. Army and attended graduate school at the University of Montana. His Peace Corps training was conducted in-country and included home stays with local families. Clark's job assignment was in Cuvu and included working with six neighboring villages. He lived with a local family for the first four months of his assignment, and then moved into his own quarters. While in Cuvu he organized the school library, started an environmental club at the school, conducted waste management workshops, and tutored students. He also prepared a brief dictionary of the local dialect for the benefit of future volunteers. Finally, Clark discusses how his Peace Corps experience helped prepare him for his current job with the National Park Service in Alaska.
