Account of a Peace Corps volunteer who went from onsite to online to support a community in Ecuador
Cullen Thomas O'Donnell served in Peace Corps Ecuador for three years before being evacuated in March 2020. Maintaining his connection with his community, O'Donnell participated in the Virtual Service Pilot to support Ecuadorian English teachers and students.
The Peace Corpsβ Virtual Service Pilot was a formal extension of the work we had already started β virtually supporting Ecuadorian English teachers and students. During the first phase of the program, I was nervous about stretching myself too thin. I have two demanding jobs at a school in the United States and Iβd just started my first semester of graduate school. There were times I wondered how I was going to find time to create a lesson plan, meet with other virtual Volunteers and staff, actively train teachers for four hours per week, grade homework assignments, and manage all the logistics that are part of teacher trainings...
I am proud of the work I accomplished in Ecuador and can confidently say that the biggest achievements I made were when I collaborated with local people. The contributions of the local community means that the work I was involved in as a Peace Corps Volunteer is sustainable. Community members played an active role in every aspect of every project. With the memories of my program manager in my head, I tried hard to ensure my VSP project was sustainable, too.
The participating teachers were asked to present a final project they could implement in their own schools either virtually or in-person. To successfully complete the course, the English teachers presented these projects to me and their peers in October. We have now started the second phase of the program β a conversation club, in which participating teachers not only practice their speaking and listening skills, but also gather ideas for implementing clubs at their own schools.
This second phase has been especially rewarding for me because I have reconnected with teachers from the first phase and counterparts from my earlier Peace Corps service. By participating in Peace Corpsβ Virtual Service Pilot, I have not only been reminded of my permanent connection to Ecuador, but I can honor the memory and the legacy of my program manager.
