As a Peace Corps volunteer one of our three goals is to bring our host country's culture back to the United States of America to share with our family and friends. One way to do this is to present at a local high school while you are vacationing or visiting the USA. Here is my presentation that I gave to a 9th grade AP History class in Hudson Falls, New York, USA
