It's Getting Easier to Support People and Projects We Care About. So Let's Do More!

Hi! My name is Tony Gambino. I'm a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV). I taught school from 1979-1982 in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I've worked on international issues pretty much ever since. I think there needs to be a lot more support to help poor people overseas - and that those of us who are part of the Peace Corps community should help lead this. Talking about how we can do that is the purpose of this blog.

Hi! My name is Tony Gambino. I'm a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV). I taught school for 3 years in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I've worked on international issues since, with NGOs, USAID, the Department of State, and the Congress along the way. I think there needs to be a lot more support led by those of us who are RPCVs to help poor people overseas. Talking about that is the purpose of this blog. The National Peace Corps Association (NPCA) is in a partnership with GlobalGiving to give RPCVs a way both to contribute to projects supported by other RPCVs and, over time, to post projects of their own. This is an incredibly exciting new -- and much easier -- way for many more of us to contribute directly to helping people help themselves in developing countries. By the way, the picture is of me in the Congo in July 2006, serving as an elections monitor. I was in eastern Congo, mainly based in Goma. This is a picture of me there, with Goma's volcano, Mount Nyiragongo, in the background. I went with the Carter Center to observe the first democratic elections in the Congo since the early 1960s.
