Pnazek, Keith, 1975-1978
|
|
Keith Pnazek joined the Peace Corps because he always thought that volunteerism was important and he wanted a challenge. Keith trained in country with intense language training. He had to be held back until he learned the language. Keith went to work for a co-op that worked with coconut plantations. His job was to help them with their books. He was instructed to set an example, not to change things but let the Dominicans come to their own conclusions. However, he found discrepancies in the co-ops book keeping. After six months, the Peace Corps, Keith and his host family were all involved in the problem. Death threats caused the Peace Corps to sever relations with the co-op and Keith was forced to leave the area. |
