I laughed when I heard that his majoring in African History and applying to the Peace Corps to go to some African country led to the PC inviting him to train for South Korea! (We RPCVs know all about that phenomenon.) I laughed more nervously when I heard that he managed to get to Kenya and was immediately made the headmaster of a girls' school where they only funding came from the girls themselves. By the end of Part 1 of this podcast, I was full of admiration for Mark Ward and sorry that everything changed after September 11th, 2001, making it impossible for him to continue to take his family to the countries where he served. I'm looking forward to Part 2!
