Welcome to the Only Online Radio Show 100% Dedicated to Survival in Today’s Changing World.
Monday-Friday's at 3:00pm Central 4:00pm ESTEpisode-762- Tom Haile on Serving in the Peace Corps
Tom Haile in Madagascar
Tom is a Texas native growing up in Katy Texas. He doesn’t remember leaving Texas until being at least old enough to buy a beer. He started a career in software development in 2000 but tired of it and joined the Peace Corps in 2007.
After returning in 2009 he continued a career of software development in Austin Texas. His experience as an environment volunteer in the third world has given him a new perspective on humanity.
I think many people feel the Peace Corps is made up of nothing but peacenick hippies who want to escape reality for a few years before joining the corporate grind. While serving in Honduras in 1991 building roads as a solider in the US Army I knew several Peace Corps members.
They lived in tougher conditions then I did, they had no way to defend themselves and were largely on the same mission, to help people in need. My hope is Tom’s experience will expand the listener’s mind today on what service in the Corps is really all about and how valuable it is in helping others and perhaps someday helping us right here at home during hard times.
Join us today as we discuss…
