Marina of Aguas Frias reflects on a Peace Corps volunteer
In June 1964 an American girl traveled on foot to the Colombian village of Aguas Frias to live with farming families and help build a school. Over nearly two years she taught children and fostered shared labor and hope, earning the village’s deep gratitude as Marina Maureen Orth, 23, UC Berkeley graduate and Peace Corps volunteer.
