Pre-Service Training for EC69 in St. Lucia

When I went through training to be a Peace Corps volunteer, the first part of training was called Pre-Service Training (PST), which was held in St. Lucia over the course of three and a half weeks.  After one year of service, I was chosen by the training staff in the Caribbean to work as a volunteer trainer responsible for the technical training of the Information Technology sector.  It was a great experience for me, and I spent four weeks in St. Lucia working with a new group of volunteers.  Besides the work that I did as a trainer, I also was able to entertain a visit from John Davis, and as usual we managed to have several interesting adventures.  The most memorable of our adventures was a climb to the top of Gros Piton with our Lucian friend Germain and young guide.  Thanks to John Davis for these photos.
