At the present time about 100 American Peace Corps Volunteers serve in signed to the nations capitol city, Lome, where he will continue to work with an educational project designed to improve school facilities in the tiny country. PART OF Mr. Lewis job is to develop additional financial support for his project. To do this he will contact schools, corporations, international foundations and other groups which may be interested in contributing or money, building materials, school supplies, such as text hooks and visual aids. Education is one of the most fundamental problems facing developing nations and is a major concern for the Togolese government, Mr. Lewis reports. For example neglect of sanitation principles can cause people to become infected with the guinea worm, a slender nematode that infects men and animals in warm countries. But when people understand that the worms eggs, too small to be seen, are carried in water they can understand measuies, why precautionary such as boiling or filtering of drinking water, must be taken. And this knowledge is best gained through the schools, he says. One of .the most common ways of providing aid for Togo schools is through a cooperative program with American schools.

One major food is a kind of mush made from yams and served with a veryhot meat sauce. As a result of an un- balanced diet malnutrition is one of the major problems of the natives. Sanitation, too, is a problem and these are the areas where the Peace Corps is hoping to make some changes. The natives, however, are very cooperative, Mr. Lewis continued, and quick to adapt to new programs. And they are anxious to establish permanent new schools.

ACTION, Washington, 20525. For the past two years Mr. Lewis labored in Bassar, a rural region of Togo, w'here he built elementary schools in several villages and helped make road improvements. His last assignment was to build a school in a village of just 200 people. HE GRADUATED from Tooele High School in 1967 and after a year at the University of Oregon in Eugene he enrolled at the University of Utah where he became interested in the Peace Corps. Incidently he also spent one semester in Europe at the University of Vienna. After graduating from the U in 1973 he was accepted by the Peace Corps and sent to Togo. His service began with one month intensive language training (the Togo National Language is French), and two months training under actual working conditions. He was then sent to Bassar and placed in charge of the elementary school building program in that region. He was often the only white man in the program and as construction supervisor at the work site. It has been a very rewarding experience and one I will never forget, he stated. Learning the various skills in a very practical sense has been helpful, but I suppose the major experience has been cultural; learning to be culturally sensitive. He noted that the country is 90 percent agricultural with the people working small farms.
