Bringing Planning Back to the Basics

摘要

After receiving a master's degree in city and regional planning in 2013,1 found myself working not in a city or region, but in an isolated village called Murunda in the western mountains of Rwanda. As a Peace Corps Education Volunteer, my primary assignment was to teach English to high school students. But I also wanted to put my planning degree to good use. Peace Corps volunteers are encouraged to take on secondary projects-a project that falls in the intersection between a volunteer's skills and interests and the community's need.
