    Yes that is a typo Jason. I would have no idea how to show a different side of the Armenians since I knew little about them. But…it could have been quite interesting if I tried. 😉

    No doubt PC has its drawbacks, but I believe that PC is only as good as its volunteers and we (includes you and Terra) were some of the good ones.

    Good Article! Is the paragraph:

    “Holt is a returned volunteer who arrived back in the States in 2005 – about nine months early – when he experienced a nerve-damage injury in his shoulders that puzzled the doctors. Holt and his wife volunteered together with an ultimate goal ‘to show a different side of who Armenians are, rather than the one that was being portrayed through images of war.'”

    a typo? They use “Armenians” but shouldn’t it be “Americans”?

    Sounds like you are doing a good job Brett getting work out about PC. Although the organisation has its drawbacks, overall, there is not another better volunteer organisation in the world with as much freedom.

We welcome your thoughts.
