Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Hawai'i

Connecting RPCV's Living in Hawai'i

PC History: Training in Hawaii




Peace Corps Training Site at the Old Hilo Hospital 1962 - 1971

RPCV-Hawaii produced an excellent series of half-hour (30 minute) interview programs about individual volunteers and their service experience called “Bring the World Home.” Most are still posted in an almost forgotten corner of YouTube. Check out all the videos from the "Bring the World Home" series. 

There are about 72 episodes in the YouTube collection.  A few examples of service countries: Vanuatu, Tonga, Honduras, Dominican Republic and Greg's country; Chuuk.  

Mahalo to Greg Knudsen, RPCV Chuuk, FSM 74-76, for sending the information about the television series. 

The slideshow below contains 100+ slides from our RPCV friends on the Big Island.  Many of our RPCV Big Island members trained in Hilo and they all love to "talk story" about the training experience.
