Two RPCVs starting a professional-interest book club.

A volunteer from Morocco 2010-2012 and the DR are creating a professional-interest book club focusing on non-fiction books related to international development, human rights and social justice. Our first book will be Poor Economics by Abhijit Banerjee and Ester Duflo (http://pooreconomics.com/). Our first meeting will be an informal gathering at the house of my friend on Saturday, June 8th at 11am. Discussion about the book will be over brunch.

It's a great way to keep informed about the international development community.

For more details please contact Molly Baker at mollybaker96@gmail.com. 

What: Welcome Back/Send Off event to welcome back new RPCV's and send off new volunteers! This is a great opportunity to connect with newly returned or new to Boston RPCVs.

Our featured speaker is Ben Berman, RPCV Zimbabwe '98-'00. He will talk about his book, Strange Borderlands, his experience and what he is doing now.

Please RSVP if you plan to come: RSVP

When: Friday, May 3, 2013, 6 to 9 p.m.

Where: First Parish Church, 3 Church Street, Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA 02138

*As always TGIF will follow (at Tommy Doyles in Harvard Square).

We invite you all to Boston, Massachusetts on the weekend of June 28-29, 2013 for an event that will encourage you to continue “bringing the world back home” while visiting with friends and having fun.

Since this is for the Peace Corps community, key elements of this event will be highly interactive and incorporate career networking and knowledge-sharing.  By bringing our collective experiences together can support each other and help to solve important development challenges.
