Tanganyika ideal spot for Peace Corps work
Tanganyika offers the Peace Corps a fitting stage to tackle poverty and backwardness as it moves toward independence. The first African contintent mission will include surveyors engineers and geologists tasked with mapping feeder roads to connect farms with markets and boost cash exchanges for crops like cotton coffee and sisal. The effort faces opposition from the Africa Natonal Congress but gains support from TANU leader Julius Nyerere and the Tanganyika government. Malaria and the tsetse fly pose health risks, while colonial-era roads hinder farmers. Peace Corps plans aim to expand roads under a three year development program and teach Swahili to improve cooperation and effectiveness.
