Description
Leslie Newall served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Liberia from 1965 to 1967 in an education program. While still an undergraduate student in New York, she attended the Peace Corps secondary education training program at the University of California, Berkeley in the summer between her junior and senior years, then completed elementary education training at San Francisco State University the summer after she graduated college. Newall was stationed in Cape Palmas, Liberia, and taught fourth grade students in a corner of a one-room school house set up in the local church's nave. She says that her Peace Corps service was the most carefree and fun, yet also formative, time of her life.
