The decentralization of activities within Amigos de Bolivia y
Peru has taken
time. A lot of progress was made in 2002, largely due to Bill
Sherry taking on the duties and responsibilities of Membership
Coordinator.
Previously, the newsletter editor
maintained address data for mailing lists. We've now
worked out the coordination to the extent that Bill and
interim editor Ray Brown coordinate the non-content aspects of
putting out the newsletter on their own.

Another major change with regard to the newsletter
distribution is the use of e-mail newsletters in place of
postal newsletters for those members with e-mail addresses.
This has reduced the percentage of members dues spent
on the newsletter from 39% to 23%. The funds saved allowed
increases in other areas, including an experiment in using
Microsoft SharePoint, a multiple access web based data
system. After two months, Bill Sherry decided to do it
by himself. If and when Bill decides to prevent

his burnout or has done enough, he has committed to
working for a smooth transition, including the possibility of
using a multiple-access web data system.
I, Ken Rustad,
experienced extensive damage to my computer and some software
from the Klez 32 virus. I ended up buying a new computer
with better security but received so many Windows and Norton
security updates that I was unable to open e-mails in Word and
Adobe etc. for which I

What a deep joy we feel knowing that the Peace Corps is
once again working in Peru!
Those of us who served
during earlier times have fond memories of the friends that we
made there, the jobs we did and the grandiose plans that we
had for a continuing presence in the country. Now we are able
to start thinking once |
|
|
| | |

|

again of going ahead with some of those plans, even
though they may be carried out in absentia. Coupled with this
enthusiasm is our desire to support whatever new programs
and new ideas may result from the work of the current and
future volunteers.
As a Peru coordinator of
Amigos, I want to wel |

come you to consider a planning process that can
include all of us, working together to accomplish great things
for the benefit of "nuestra Peru hermosa."
First and
foremost, I intend to establish ways to intensify contact with
as many Peru RPCVs as possible and encourage them to become
