What’s Oíste?

OÍSTE is a quarterly online magazine, written and edited by Peace Corps Colombia volunteers, highlighting projects in the community, spotlighting volunteers, staff members and counterparts, and commenting on daily life on the Coast.

Third Goal: Bring the World Home

The third goal of Peace Corps is, "To promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans." With this online magazine, we hope to give Peace Corps staff and volunteers more opportunities to share their talents, successes and experiences in Colombia with a wider audience, both back home and abroad.

From the Editors: APRIL 2018

Welcome to the April Issue!

Self-Care has reached fad status in the United States, but in the Peace Corps, it’s been a critical part of volunteer success since the organization’s inception.

In this issue, you’ll find stories about how volunteers on the Colombian coast take care of themselves, whether it’s staying fit, managing changes in diet, making connections, or getting away every once in awhile.

Whether you are checking in as a friend or family member of a current volunteer, a prospective volunteer seeking perspective, an RPCV wondering how PC Colombia has changed since you left, or a current volunteer curious about what your colleagues have to share, we’re glad to have you and hope you learn something new in this issue.

Plus new pueblo-friendly recipes in Buen Provecho, some volunteer poetry, and reflections on just getting through the day. Thanks for reading,
The Oíste Team
