Description
Patricia (Pat) Milliren served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Fiji from 1968 to 1970 in an education program. She had wanted to serve in South America and learn Spanish, but instead was invited to go to Fiji. Her training began on the island of Molokai in Hawaii, and she learned the Hindustani language. Milliren taught biology and English at Nadi College, a secondary school where the majority of students were of Indian descent. During her time there she developed strong friendships with the students and local teachers. She also discusses how the Peace Corps influenced her life after her service. Milliren returned to Fiji in 2011 on a trip organized by Friends of Fiji, to work on a Habitat for Humanity project. Interviewed and recorded by Jack Davies, July 31, 2019. 1 digital audio file.
