Julia Mehrer served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ecuador from 1963 to 1964 in a community development program. She began training in November 1963, with a month in Puerto Rico at an Outward Bound school. The group then was split into urban and rural, and Mehrer went with the other rural volunteers to the UNESCO training center in Patzcuaro, Mexico. After working on various health and education projects for four months at her site in Saraguro, Ecuador, Mehrer became engaged to a former Peace Corps trainee. She married in August 1964 in Guayaquil and moved to Venezuela to work in urban community development with Accion. Interviewed and recorded by Robert Klein, April 19, 2002. 2 tapes (web streaming files combined into 1 file).
