 Evonne first volunteered for the Peace Corps back in the 70's in Paraguay where she lived for about a year and a half (basically out in the jungle!).  When she returned, she received her masters and became a teacher for several decades working at times with the mentally and physically disabled.  In recent years, she travelled to China to be an English teacher and lived there for two years.  After returning to the US for two years, she joined the Peace Corps again and went to Malawi as a teacher living in a small village.
