Title: 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.

Title: Five Champions of Child Health in the Peace Corps in Malawi in the 1960s: Program Technical Representative Dr. Roger Hofmeister
Date: [date of publication not identified]
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.
