On Development


Guatemala RPCV Stephanie posted this on a Peace Corps yahoo message board. She writes:
What makes one country or community "developed" and others "developing"?

What does it mean to be "developed"?  Who sets those standards and based on what?


So these are not just theoretical, but practical, questions we as PCVs must ask ourselves constantly as we work for the betterment of our host communities and go on to advocate for international volunteerism and cooperation. As such I think this video, made by an RPCV from Panama, inspires a valuable dialogue that aspiring, current, and returned PCVs should participate in.
 Some things to think about.
