John-Peter (JP) Dunn served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ghana from 1974 to 1976 as a teacher. After graduating from Brandeis University in 1974, he accepted an invitation to a secondary education program in Ghana. Assigned to NSASS, a co-ed secondary school in Nsaba with 200 students, Dunn's first task was to secure a UNESCO grant for supplies in order to properly teach science. During his tenure he also founded a debating society and a student newspaper. He disciplined through student engagement rather than caning. Dunn developed close relationships with NSASS graduates, who have since organized an alumni association to support the school (which now enrolls 3,000 students). He states that volunteering taught him the art of teaching, fostered self-sufficiency, and enhanced his introspective abilities. Interviewed and recorded by Gail B.
