Waiting for the Snow: The Peace Corps Papers of a Charter Volunteer

Theodore M. Hesburgh

4/5 ( ratings)

Do you enjoy memoirs about gritty challenges, drama, romance, and danger in remote villages of the world? This entertaining and humorous account describes the author's Peace Corps experiences in Chile from 1961-63. A much-heralded Peace Corps pioneer, Scanlon was commended personally by President Kennedy for his work. The book inspires people young and old to improve the living conditions of others and to find a career that brings them a lifetime of satisfaction. It leads the reader to another time to relive - or enjoy for the first time - life in the early 1960s. Founding Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver comments in the Foreword that "Waiting for the Snow reminds us of the enormous greatness that can happen when ordinary people do what is right and good. This is a great read ..."
