I have tried throughout my experience as a Peace Corps Volunteer and since my return home to the United States, to show and tell people what Paraguay is and was like for me. I wrote about the people I have met and the relationships that formed. I posted pictures of my house, my community, my friends and even my wash bucket. I posted a few YouTube videos of what my house and neighborhood looked like. But even though all of these things can help people gain a better understanding of Paraguay and the effects it had on my life, I am sure there are still millions of things to be shown and explained.
This YouTube video was produced by a small group of Peace Corps Volunteers in Paraguay. It was for incoming volunteers to give them a better idea of what they can expect if they decide to go to Paraguay. It is another way to learn more about PY. I hope you watch it and enjoy it. I still get a little teary eyed when I watch it.
The song that is played in the background was written and performed by PCV Nick Bayard and his community contact Senor Bogado on their album El Duo de Oro (The Golden Du0). The song is titled, "Cuerpo de Paz Paraguay" (Peace Corps Paraguay) and speaks to the spectrum of activities that Peace Corps Volunteers do with and within their communities.
