From land-locked Afghanistan to the smallest of islands in the far reaches of the Pacific Ocean, stories by peace Corps Volunteers from this region come from (mostly) Hindu India 1,269,210 square miles worth of democracy patched together from princely states Confucian Korea, Muslim Indonesia and Buddhist Thailand.
Imagine delivering a baby with the help of the handy Peace Corps first aid kit on a rust bucket of a passenger ship in the Pacific or practicing agriculture with armed Pathan farmers in the Pashtun region of Pakistan. How about trekking into the far reaches of Afghanistan to inoculate women and children for small pox, or returning 25 years later to your school in India to find that, yes, your students do remember you? These stories say. I Was There.”

Editor Jane Albritton
As one contributor of many to Editor Jane Albritton's outstanding anthology of Peace Corps experiences, I was honored to be invited to submit The Mosquito Bar. I served as a Volunteer in Thailand during the Vietnam War, and spent Saturday nights at that notorious dockside dive in Bangkok, drinking with the bar girls and trying to write the Great American Novel. My Peace Corps experience helped shape me as a writer, a craft I continue to pursue (Michael Schmicker)
