#11 - Lane Bunkers

Today’s guest, Lane Bunkers, served in the Zona Sur in the late 80’s and is currently the Country Director of Peace Corps Costa Rica. We talk about what inspired him to leave his small town in Minnesota, the challenges of getting projects going at site, his extension of service in Chile, and his long career in international development. Lastly, Lane leaves some sound advice for volunteers just starting their service as well as for those just finishing.
