Description
James (Jim) Maurer served as a Peace Corps volunteer in India from 1966 to 1968 on an agriculture project. He applied upon graduating high school and began serving two years later when he was a college student. In India, he worked on a pig production project that he describes as well-intentioned but poorly planned. It required more skill in community development than animal husbandry. Maurer ended up frustrated and disappointed at the lack of progress. Interviewed and recorded by Robert Klein, October 17, 2007. 2 tapes (web streaming files combined into 1 file).
