PC History in Hawaii

    BRING THE WORLD HOME

    Mahalo to Greg Knudsen, RPCV Chuuk, FSM 74-76, for sending the information about the television series "Bring the World Home."

    RPCV-Hawaii produced an excellent series of half-hour (30 minute) interview programs about individual volunteers and their service experience called “Bring the World Home.” Most are still posted in an almost forgotten corner of YouTube.

    There are about 72 episodes in the YouTube collection.  A few examples of service countries: Vanuatu, Tonga, Honduras, Dominican Republic and Greg's country; Chuuk.  

    Check out all the videos from the "Bring the World Home" series.
