- First Peace Corps Volunteer Families: Diary of the Zieglers in Colombia, South America, 1970-1972
- Date
- 1970/1972
- Creator
- Ziegler, Claire; Ziegler, Delwyn
- Description
- This diary details the daily volunteer experiences of the Ziegler family from 1970-1972 in Colombia, South America. Delwyn was age 38, Claire was age 30, Colette 4 1/2, and Andre 2 1/2. Delwyn, a former hospital controller, worked in business administration programs, including small business consulting and hospital administration. Claire, a fluent French speaker, taught French at a high school as well as at the Alliance Française. The Zieglers participated in the Peace Corps' experiment with families. Previously the Peace Corps had accepted only singles and couples. In an attempt to recruit more senior people with experience, the Peace Corps tried to see how families might work out as volunteers. The Zieglers were part of a group of five families recruited for Colombia.

- Description
- Peace Corps Volunteer Jack Allison – Described by Newsweek as more popular than Malawi’s own president, Jack became famous throughout Malawi for his songs and jingles in the local language, recording over 100 of them. All of his songs promote better health practices. He and his wife have contributed over $165,000 from his music to charities, including $30,000 to help feed Malawian children who have been orphaned because their parents have died of AIDS. After graduating medical school, he went on to a distinguished career in emergency medicine. He never stopped responding to crises in Malawi and around the globe. He is now helping the Peace Corps modernize its policies to better engage a changed world through the “Connect to the Future“ initiative.

- Date

- Creator
- Weinstein, Arthur K.
- Description
- Program Technical Representative Dr. Roger Hofmeister, Director of the “Malawi XIV” Child Health “Under-Fives’ Baby Clinic Project” (1968-1970) and the “Malawi XIV” Tuberculosis Control Project (1968-1970). Back in the United States, he became an early leader of Family Medicine at the University of Missouri. Twenty years later, in 1991, he returned to Malawi to provide medical care for three months at Likuni Mission Hospital, in Lilongwe. He found that the Peace Corps’ investment in child health in the 1960s had paid off handsomely: The Under-Fives’ Baby Clinics were still operating in most districts, coordinated by Malawi health assistants. Since retiring, he volunteers for the PET (Personal Energy Transportation) cart project (now called Mobility Worldwide), which has helped victims of polio, land mines, birth defects, and animal attacks in over 100 countries.
