Memo to Peace Corps Vets

<p>One of my more positive futuristic visions, woven into my science fiction (blogs, websites, other social media) is: my &ldquo;Trucker Exchange Program&rdquo; also dubbed &ldquo;Truckers for Peace&rdquo; (T4P).</p> <p>Picture yourself as a truck driver in Ethiopia who gets recruited for, or signs up for, an academic program that will let you apprentice on distant routes, such as Beijing-Tehran (part of One Band One Road). Eventually, you might get to drive it solo, or be the teacher for someone new.</p> <p>Although the freight has to keep moving in a timely fashion (a fresh driver takes over as you pull in to Kabul, having just done the Khyber Pass), individual drivers such as yourself often get multi-week tours of duty, including R&amp;R, on various campuses, where you&rsquo;ll learn local history and gain language skills, along with higher level STEM skills.</p> <p><a href="https://kirbyurner.medium.com/memo-to-peace-corps-vets-31257868e673"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
