Description
Sarayu Adeni served as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic from 2010 to 2012 in a youth, family, and community development program. She was motivated to join the Peace Corps in part as a response to President Obama's call to action, in part to respect her Indian parents' immigrant experience, and because of the poor job market for newly graduated print journalism majors. She talks fondly of the warm welcome her group of volunteers got from Peace Corps volunteers and staff already in-country. She discusses her close relationship with the three host families with whom she lived, especially the host family in Carlos Pinto where she was stationed. Adeni also discusses the Peace Corps GLOW (Girls Leading Our World) program; the HIV prevention, sports, and other projects in which she was involved; and her partnership with the San Diego Padres organization and its outreach coordinator in the area. Interviewed and recorded by Kelli Haynes, June 21, 2019. 1 digital audio file.
