Bailey Reporter Coleen McGarrity, Texas A&M’s Peace Corps representa tive, will speak to the Interna tional Development Forum Thursday at 7 p.m. in 404 Rud der about her cross-cultural expe riences in Zaire, West Africa. Accompanying her at the meeting will be Steve Long, an A&M graduate student and a re turned Peace Corps volunteer from Niger, West Af rica. Verne Isbell, the president of IDF, said this will be one of the group’s best biweekly meetings, and will be an exciting one for newcomers. The group was formed in May . 1987 to increase stucfent aware ness of developing foreign na tions, he said. “It’s a perfect way for A&M students to get involved with some overseas activities,’’ he said. “It helps people understand situ ations in places foreign to them.” Isbell, who is working toward a doctorate in crop physiology, said the main purpose of the group is to present ideas on what devel opmental help is needed in other countries, not to force them to blindly accept what the United States considers development. “Being American seems to say that we’re doing everything right and other countries should follow our example, but what we need to realize is that we don’t have the only right way of doing things,” he said. Americans must take the for eign country’s culture into ac count before U.S. knowledge and technology can be adapted to what other people need and want, he said. “We can’t force progress,” he said. “There are appropriate lev els of assistance and technology for each individual culture. It’s time that we go there and adapt to them so we can know better how to help them.” An individual’s definition of development or progress is rela tive to where he comes from, Is bell said, and because of that some people are not ready to adopt U.S. technology. “We take change hard, too,” he said. “We don’t let people tell us what to do, and if we’d think about adverse reactions we’ve had to change in the past we’d under stand how to work with other countries.” The group consists of about 30 members and is open to every one.
