“My fondest memory of Vanuatu is waiting to get there, waiting to leave, waiting to go back.”

I’ve been waiting nearly seven years to return to Paama. My dad, who was a PCV in the Dominican Republic in the 1960s, went back in 2004 after 30 years since his last return to his site. I got to go with him, and witnessed how exciting a homecoming it was for him. (Read this post about my visit to the DR and Haiti, and this post about the book my dad wrote about his service.)

UPDATE: I’ve fixed the directory so that your phone number, address and email don’t get displayed. Please do fill in those fields when you complete the directory form; that way, I’ll have a way to contact you.

I sent out e-mail messages this weekend alerting people to this new website. Glad to see people are visiting – we have our first comment from a former Australian volunteer (see the Recent Comments section in the sidebar at right).

Have a look around, and please register so you can contribute to the storian. And be sure to add yourself to the Vanuatu RPCV Directory (we’ve got our first six names in the directory already).

Come back regularly to see how this site grows. Send your ideas for improving the site to zuiker AT gmail DOT com.

And subscribe to the Vanuatu RPCV mailing list to stay connected to your fellow Volunteers.
