Kathleen Snyder Cox served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Honduras from 1971 to 1973. After training in Puerto Rico, she was assigned to work on a public health and nutrition project organized by Caritas (Catholic Relief Services). Snyder was stationed in Juticalpa, the capital of the Olancho Department. She worked with impoverished women from outlying villages, and trained them in nutrition education and health care so that they could return to their villages to function as "promotoras de salud" (community health workers).
