Admire Letter received November 19, 2000. on
need for international consultants.
| From: Gary Admire Subject: Saludos Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2000 07:40:34 -0800 (PST) Steve and Bud: Just a note to say hello and to provide some info on temporary consultant work which might be available for PCPF members. I have been asked to serve as Director for a USAID project in El Salvador. The project is intended to review and modify as necessary the criminal codes of El Salvador, as well as to provide support for justice system institutions. Also, rural justice centers will be developed for the resolution of those disputes that need not be addressed in a court of law. In the two months I have been here, I have found a need for international consultants. These consultants receive substantial salary and have all expenses paid (including flight, hotel, and per diem). They serve for a period of from a few days to a few months (depending on specific project need). Qualifications: 1. Legal experience (law degree or equivalent) 2. Experience of some kind in Latin America 3. Reasonably fluent Spanish 4. Helpful (but not required): Experience as a prosecutor or public defender 5. Helpful (but not required): Experience in constitutional and/or statutory law 6. Helpful (but not required): Teaching experience I can consider individuals who do not meet the above requirements if their expertise is compatible with, and is needed by, the project. As noted above, these are short term or long term consultancies. Some of these mini-projects could be performed during a one or two week vacation from one's existing work. Please ask anyone interested to contact me at gadmirePCPF@yahoo.com. Please distribute this information to any one or any organization who may have an interest. Saludos a todos. Gary D.

Hi, PCPFers and PCVs, I hope you will make the effort to read my new novel about Panama, "Stone Flute," a timeline saga from 1671 (the sack of Panama City by Morgan's pirates) to modern times.
It's $23.95 from online booksellers but discounted several bucks on www.booksamillion.com.
Stone Flute's theme is the pity that precolumbian peoples were dealt so badly by the conquest, but that so much of their culture, particularly the networking of influential friends, persists till now.
There isn't much accurate history of Panama from the Spanish point of view, so I had to do a lot of digging.
Your comments are humbly invited.
Charles Stough, Panama VI

2000 17:13:10 GMT From: Bonnie Birker Subject: Greetings to all Hola! Aqui estoy en mi querida Panamá!!!! Abrazos para todos!! Steve Bell went off to his village in Potuga, Herrera and is enjoying all of the pictures and stories of past visits. Ive been in La Enea de Guarare for the past 5 days -- its unbelievable- the joy to see everyone- after 20 years without any communications. Thanks to volunteer, Melanie Emerson in Guarare, she made the connections to alert everyone I was coming. Wellllllll how is it here -- In La Enea- there is great progress - a beautiful park, more houses, many young people and many who have good educations and jobs. Best of all the people I knew hace 30 años are still the same and what wonderful memories as we look at pix. I couldn't believe -- they didnt like looking at slides with the hand viewer. So, they got a projector from Guarare and showed my 40 slides on the wall of the iglesia every night!!! Whew -- what laughs! Mainly, I am getting to know the nietos de los jovenes de antes!! Oh,, and the polleras are more beautiful than ever '' still coming out of La Enea and now that there is info in the Lonely Planet book -- the gringos are streaming through visiting, taking pictures, and not able to figure out how I lived there!!! Well, we're headed off to La Valle, Santa Clara this week and then off to San Blas ' Ustupu for the weekend. Will check in later. For all who have been to el Festival de la Mejorana, Carnivales y el Concurso de Polleras --- saludos de la sra. Alda de Bustamante de La Enea '' ella ha tenido tantos visitas en estes años -- ella es mi secretaria para mantener la lista de los PCVs aqui!!! Pues, saludos a todos. Hasta la promima noticia!!
