PC Samoa and the U.S. Embassy Apia want to document the many and diverse professional and personal impacts of the PC Samoa experience on Volunteers (current and former) and Samoans through a small and friendly competition. Volunteers and Samoans are encouraged to submit by May 20th examples of such impacts, either in written material (less than 500 words), photographs, or other media. A panel of Volunteers and Samoans will select the winning and other top entries, which will be highlighted at the Embassy’s July 4 Reception, which has PC’s 50th Anniversary as its theme, in Apia. RPCVs are encouraged to attend, joining current Volunteers, PC Samoa staff, Embassy staff, Samoans who have submitted one of the best impact pieces, local dignitaries and other guests. People submitting one of the winning entries will receive some small “prizes,” such as a publication of the winning and other top entries, and Samoan winners from villages will receive some travel assistance to enable them to attend.
