HOUGHTON -- Anna and Justin Wild will present "Three Years in the Peace Corps," slides and a talk on central Tanzania, at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, June 28, at Portage Lake United Church in Houghton.
Anna's site was in Kigwe, the desert area in central Tanzania west of Dodoma, the capital city. Justin's post was in Southern Tanzania, but after they first met during their training sessions they knew they would end up together. After each completed the required 2-year tour, they petitioned the Peace Corps to spend a third year in Tanzania at Anna's site and as a married couple. When this was approved, the two returned for three weeks to the U.S. to get acquainted with each other's family and to marry. Two days after their wedding they journeyed back to Kigwe, where they taught math and science, completing their third year in December 2008.
Their talk will include slides, demonstrations and humor! Everyone is invited.
Anna is Jan Dalquist's granddaughter, Dan and Bobbie Dalquist's niece and Marthe Dalquist Kuhn's daughter.
