Abstract	This manual focuses on what prompts Peace Corps volunteers to get involved, activities that volunteers have tried while on assignment, and a series of guidelines volunteers can apply to secondary activity, which is organized during school recesses or at times when the Volunteer is otherwise unoccupied. The book is divided into three sections. Part 1, "Seven Success Stories," includes: (1) "Fishing in Sierre Leone"; (2) "Rooftop Gardening in the Dominican Republic"; (3) "Egg Production in Papua New Guinea"; (4) "Enterprise Zones in Malawi"; (5) "Repairing Braille writers in Nepal"; (6) "Organizing a Women's Conference in Hungary"; and (7) "Learning from Legends in Yap." Part 2, "A Sampling of Activities," contains: (1) "Appropriate Technology & Energy"; (2) "Arts & Entertainment"; (3) "Business"; (4) "Construction"; (5) "Environmental Education"; (6) "Health Education"; (7) "Literacy"; (8) "Recreation for Children & Youth"; (9) "Resource Centers and Libraries"; (10) "Services for People with Special Needs"; (11) "Third Goal Programs"; (12) "Volunteer and Vocational Training"; and (13) "Work with Women." Part 3, "Guidelines for Success," includes: (1) "Starting Slowly"; (2) "Letting the Community Take the Initiative"; (3) "Relying on Local Resources"; (4) "Enjoying the Activity"; (5) "Paying Attention to the Nuts and Bolts"; (6) "Keeping It Simple and Flexible"; and (7) "Following Up, Documenting and Sharing Your Experience." A list of acronyms and a 63-item bibliography conclude the manual. (EH)
