Description
Sally H. Foote served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Costa Rica from 1968 to 1970 on a public health project (Costa Rica IX). Her project was originally designed for a three-member team with one person focusing on public health, the second on agriculture, and the third on microeconomics or co-ops. However, once in Costa Rica, Foote was assigned by herself to a small town in the interior of the country. She worked with her community to raise funds to construct a small clinic building for public health services. For her second year, Foote transferred to San Jose and worked at a special education school for the visual and hearing impaired. In the interview, she also describes the psychological strategies employed during the Peace Corps training and selection process. Interviewed and recorded by Joanne Roll, June 6, 2008. 2 tapes (web streaming files combined into 1 file).
