For much of the world, hiking, canoeing, and growing your own crops is a reality of daily life. To a traveler, the air smells different, the light is different, the new views can be spectacular! Every day in the Peace Corps is an adventure. Come to the Appalachian Mountain Club Headquarters in Boston to hear about the Peace Corps adventure - from new sights and strange foods, to mountain ridge and desert hikes, and coffee with people from another culture. A Returned Peace Corps Volunteer who served in the mountains of Guatemala will talk about her experience and answer questions about Peace Corps Service.

It is time to stop arguing over whether the Internet empowers individuals and societies, and address the more fundamental and urgent question of how technology should be structured and governed to support the rights and liberties of all the world’s Internet users.
