After reading, the “Village Voice” article I am truly moved. When Rajeev joined the Peace Corps and went to Namje, Nepal, he began not only learning more about their culture, but also how this culture directly impacted him and his family’s lives. I believe this may have given him a purpose to do all that he could help the people living in this village. Although he was assigned the role of teaching English at one of the schools in Namje, he quickly realized one of the biggest issues in the village – getting water up the mountain. Due to distance and location, water amounts were scarce. Through his prior studies and research he identified a method that would allow for easy transfer of water from the bottom of the mountain into the village of Namje. Although the assembly wasn’t easy, what Rajeev did for a small village of people is bigger than words can say. His actions didn’t just stop there. Rajeev looked for any opportunity he could to receive additional funds from the government. He spent hours waiting to get an opening to have one conversation with important leaders and to provide background information on the issues at hand. Rajeev raised substantial amounts of funds to assist the Peace Corps over time and although he was only person, he was viewed as leader that others followed because of what he suggested, promoted, and helped build.
