Peace Corps representative to speak
By Ashley A. 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.
