Comments on: The PCV Role http://www.pcmoldovann.com/archives/2004/10/28/the-pcv-role/ my life and times in Ukraine and Moldova Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:05:08 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Mary Merrill http://www.pcmoldovann.com/archives/2004/10/28/the-pcv-role/comment-page-1/#comment-31 Mary Merrill Fri, 29 Oct 2004 03:58:22 +0000 http://www.pcmoldovann.com/archives/2004/10/28/the-pcv-role/#comment-31 I enjoyed your explanation. In Armenia I found many small NGO's with overlapping mission. They were often hesitant to even talk to one another and certainly did not work together. Most of this was because of funding issues. They found they could get small start up grants and so each small group started its own group. Several very successful NGOs dealt with women's health. We also saw the summer camp programs. One nice one used "city" volunteers to bring together rural children with differnt backgrounds. We saw several sites where PCV's stated young centers with computer rooms. The "tech" aspect had drawn the older teens. We also saw lots of "employment" programs, especially for women. I mentioned before that many of the married men were working out of the country and the younger women were looking for employment or activities. What is the literacy rate in Modova? What is the educational level of the people in Moldova? Do many people have college degrees? Since the fall of the Soviets, is it harder for the younger people to get a higher education?
