Her training began at San Jose State College and included instruction in the Tagalog language and rigorous physical activities like survival swimming lessons. Moses then traveled to her service site in Cotabato province, the barangay (village) of Salunayan. There she taught English and science to young students and ran an adult education program that trained local teachers. In the interview, Moses shares stories about using a boat to travel between the islands, the dogs who ate her Thanksgiving turkeys, and how she heard about President Kennedy's assassination.
