Description
Madeline Uraneck served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Lesotho from 2007 to 2009 as a teacher trainer. She applied to the Peace Corps at age 59, after working for Wisconsin Public Radio, teaching English in Japan, and serving as an international education consultant. Her training was in Maseru, Lesotho, and the village of Ha Makebe. Uraneck was assigned to Mount Moorosi in the district of Quthing, a remote area where she had to walk for hours to reach the rural schools. After extending her service for a third year, she joined the Peace Corps staff from 2010 to 2012, and was based in Washington, D.C., Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan. The interview includes discussion of life as a older volunteer, and the contrast between being a volunteer versus agency staff.
