Episode 18 - Alan Yount (RPCV Guatemala)
<p>In this episode, we sit down with Alan Yount, an RPCV whose life path reads like an absolute masterclass in resilience and reinvention.</p><p><br></p><p>Long before he was a healthcare lawyer, lobbyist, NYC public school teacher, or novelist, Alan was a 24-year-old nurse arriving in Guatemala in 1985. But his decision to join the Peace Corps wasn't just about altruism, it was a heart-wrenching, urgent race against time due the early days of the AIDS epidemic.</p><p><br></p><p>How do you find your footing when you are running away from a crisis, only to find yourself on the frontlines of a completely different kind of history? Tune in to hear Alan’s incredibly raw, funny, and deeply vulnerable story about survival, systemic shocks, and the undeniable power of looking back at a younger version of yourself with ultimate grace.</p><p>-------</p><p>A recording with a transcript of this episode is available via Apple Podcasts and Spotify.</p><p><br></p><p>If you enjoy this LGBTQI+ RPCV content please consider joining our growing community at<a href="http://www.lgbtqirpcv.org"> <u>www.lgbtqirpcv.org</u></a>.

Episode 17 - Anonymous (RPCV Peru)
<p>In this episode, we sit down with T, a mid-career chemical engineer and RPCV who took a leap of faith to serve as a WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) volunteer in Peru.</p><p><br></p><p>Stepping out of a decade-long career in sustainability to live in rural Peru, T anticipated a journey focused entirely on clean water. Instead, navigating the shift into a conservative culture and moving back into the closet became a powerful catalyst for unexpected personal growth and deep vulnerability. Tune in to hear T’s incredibly candid story about cross-cultural communication, learning to meet people exactly where they are, and how three years in Peru completely redefined her understanding of both biological and chosen family.</p><p>------</p><p>A recording with a transcript of this episode is available via Apple Podcasts and Spotify.</p><p><br></p><p>If you enjoy this LGBTQI+ RPCV content please consider joining our growing community at<a href="http://www.lgbtqirpcv.org"> <u>www.lgbtqirpcv.org</u></a>.

<p>In this episode, we are joined by Cai Thomas, an RPCV who served in Mongolia from 2011 to 2014.</p><p><br></p><p>While Cai’s role was to teach English, their most enduring legacy was a grassroots partnership with a local disability center. In a region where individuals with disabilities were often overlooked, Cai and a fellow volunteer helped break down barriers by launching awareness trainings and building a bridge between local youth and people living with disabilities, fostering a culture of empathy that changed the lives of everyone involved.</p><p><br></p><p>Tune in to hear how Cai navigated life in rural Mongolia, the pivotal relationship that supported their own coming-out journey, and how they turned a small community project into a powerful, lasting lesson on visibility, inclusion, and the resilience of the human spirit.</p><p>------</p><p>A recording with a transcript of this episode is available via Apple Podcasts and Spotify. </p><p>If you enjoy this LGBTQI+ RPCV content please consider joining our growing community at <a href="http://www.lgbtqirpcv.org">www.lgbtqirpcv.org</a>.
