Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Hawai'i
Connecting RPCV's Living in Hawai'i
|
RPCVS on the Big Island are a busy group of about 370+ RPCVs. Members live in Hilo, Kona, Volcano, Paradise Park, and Waimea. The RPCVs on the Big Island have had several projects with the Hilo Rotary groups: most recently Peace Pole installations at Hilo airport and delivering coffee to hospital staff during the Covid-19 virus. RPCVs have also installed a monument at UH-Hilo commemorating the PC Training that took place in Hilo at the Old Hilo Hospital, the UH Hilo Campus and in the Waipio Valley. |
