Volunteer Showcases

I thought that with the recent Volunteer Showcase video completed, I'd post all of the ones we have done so far in case you've missed any.
The Volunteer Showcase is a video documentary series I thought would be cool to start in Georgia back in September. Each month we focus on a different volunteer, working on different projects, all in different parts of the country. I was able to film four volunteers, and my buddy Sean made an additional video as well. I hope this will be a popular project and will continue throughout Peace Corps Georgia long after the G9's (my group) leaves.

Here ya go!

Hej Johnny, I'm also interested in your work in the PC. I'm an American living in Sweden and studying my Masters Degree here in Agricultural Business. I'd like to write a paper this summer concerning rural livelihood's of small scale grape growers in Georgia! I'm planning on visiting Georgia in August and would like to meet up with you if you are available. Or, at least ask if you have some recommendations on which regions, or grape growers to contact. (I do have a Georgian friend who can help me communicate, but she is available for only for a few days). Could you please contact me via email: jocr0001@stud.slu.se

We can chat more in this manner.
Cheers,
Jon

Hi Johnny,
My name is Emily, I am former PCV-Senegal volunteer.

I know you're no longer in country, but am hoping you can put me in touch with a current Georgia volunteer.

I work with, World Computer Exchange, a non-profit that ships refurbished computers to developing countries. We are looking to partner with a current PCV in Georgia. I came across your blog while searching for people.

Do you know anyone who might be interested in pursuing a computer shipment to Georgia with us? I did it as a volunteer and it was very rewarding. It requires some fundraising by the PCV, but is a very cost-effective method for supplying Georgian schoolchildren with computers. Any contacts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Emily

I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world had crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure for Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr God hands herbal treatment (A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr God hands Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes,Shingles, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetes,Fibroid,Parkinson's,Alzheimer’s disease,You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this email: doctorgodhands@gmail.com  He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219.
