Oral history
Returned Peace Corps Volunteer Collection
RPCV-MR-2008-071
Tom and Sarah (Sally) Kaesemeyer served as Peace Corps volunteers in Peru from 1966 to 1968 in a rural community development program. They were the only married couple to last through their two-year Peace Corps service, and are still married today. Tom had a background in Latin American studies while Sally had a passion for travel. During their time in Peru, they lived in both a rural village, Yanaoca, and a regional capital, Cusco. While they felt inadequately trained prior to entering the country, they were able to find their place once they got there.
