Warden Training

March 10th-12th, 2008 Lima, Peru

Warden Training

Certain volunteers are chosen by the Security Coordinator, to participate in Warden Training. Basically, we learned how aid the Peace Corps staff during any emergencies. Should there be an emergency (such as the earthquakes that devastated southern Peru last August), these volunteers would help locate the whereabouts of all volunteers. Last August, the phone lines for the entire country went down for a period of time and now it is required that a plan be implemented to locate volunteers by passing notes on public transportation. Thus, I spent a couple days in Lima being trained for something that will hopefully never come to fruition.
