Sandra (Sandy) Sefton joined the Peace Corps with her husband. They trained at Marquette University with an emphasis on language skills. Sandra and her husband were sent to Brazil as community health volunteers and spent three months in-country training in a hospital setting to become indoctrinated to the culture, traditions, and customs of Brazil. Among Sandra's achievements was the creation of flip charts telling stories on health and cleanliness to children, starting a future nurses club to encourage young adults to enter the health field, and the introduction of a water filtering system to be used in the home. Interviewed and recorded by Ernest Zaremba, August 21, 2004. 2 tapes (web streaming files combined into 1 file).
