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.
