University Of Kansas Teacher DAN McCARTHY
has written an entertaining but eye-opening look at life as lived by Peruvians and Papal Volunteers...
MISSION TO PERU
When Dan and Mary Ellen McCarthy arrived in Peru to begin a three year assignment with the Papal Volunteers for Latin America, they had no idea of what to expect. With only a superficial introduction to the country and no practical knowledge of Spanish, they arrived at their destination in the capitol city, Lima, aboard an old taxi held together mostly with hope. In the face of seemingly endless paperwork and government stalling, little by little their high hopes seemed to fade until they found in the people themselves the response of friendship and dedication so necessary to work toward effective goals.
More than just a personal account of service in Latin America, MISSION TO PERU is the encompassing story of the Papal Volunteers and their accomplishments in people-to-people dialogue. Here, for the first time, America can become acquainted with the work of PAVLA and its efforts to relieve the pressing needs of our neighbors to the South. $4.95
