Noel Roger Chapin served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Peru from 1966 to 1968 working in community development. After obtaining his degree in history from the University of Wisconsin, Chapin trained at the University of Kansas rural training center. He was assigned to the small village of Chiquan in the mountains off the coast in the north to work in cooperative development. There was little productive activity until he shifted to Austrian Peace Corps - like civil engineering to work as a surveyor on small village engineering projects.
