• RPCVs can present the culture of their host country
• Presentations can be as interactive as possible:
  • photos,
  • local foods
  • clothing
  • fabrics,
  • national music, etc.
• You can have a frank discussion with the students and answer questions about what some of the country's/community's real needs are.
• Students can work on some sort of service project tied to your presentation. The teacher or leader of the group you present to would coordinate such an activity.
  • Teacher/group have contacted group(s) of children in a presenter's country of service to communicate or receive/exchange these packs although that's not required.
  • The children have made little "Peace Packs," knapsacks with their handprints in paint, a note of peace, and some school supplies and basic dental hygience stuff and send them to the country they learned about.
  • It's always fun, and the kids are super curious.
