The cutting edge

Prospective volunteers can sometimes be a little anxious about how well they will be taken care of once they arrive to their country of service. I cannot speak of other countries, but I can tell you that the technophiles of Peace Corps/Lesotho deploy an impressive suite of modern technology to help facilitate volunteer care, as evidenced by this quotation from an actual email I received today from the medical office: "In the effort of serving you better we made some modifications sometime back about how you could contact us at the Medical Unit.  This scenario was tried and tested, and it was felt that we needed one more thing to make it easier and accessible for all- an answering machine."
