By the A.M. Costa
Rica staff
Volunteers from
the Peace Corps in Costa Rica captured,
through their camera lenses, pictures of
the most representative moments of the
work they do in Costa Rica.
The photographic exhibition called "Sowing friendship, reaping peace," tells the story of the service of volunteers in Costa Rican communities. Photographs called: "Walking to the river," "Passion football," "Restorative circle," "How big is Costa Rica," "Rosquillas," "Mami Vicky," "Shoes" and many more capture those moments that have impacted the lives of 32 Peace Corps volunteers since 2012. "The photographs that the volunteers have taken in their communities capture that spirit of work and everyday culture, which they have the possibility to know more in depth, while they are working in their communities," said Erik Winkler, of Peace Corps Costa Rica. "Also volunteers are offering artisans products they made in the communities where they have worked. Some products are chocolates, dried fruits, and jewelry." The exhibition will be open until June 9, at the Sophia Wanamaker Gallery of the North American Costarican Cultural Center* in Sabana. Volunteers will be also there, talking about their experiences in the country. The Peace Corps was created in 1960 when then-Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. From that inspiration grew an agency of the federal government devoted to world peace and friendship. Since that time, 200,000+ Peace Corps Volunteers have served in 139 host countries to work on issues ranging from AIDS education to information technology and environmental preservation. In Costa Rica, the Peace Corps has had more than four thousand volunteers have served in the country in three specific areas of work: 1. Teaching English as a foreign language. 2. Youth development. 3. Community economic development.
