On Wednesday night, September 9, Peter Ostrower gave a presentation on his two-year experience as a Peace Corps volunteer. Ostrower talked about his time in Panama, where he built latrines and aqueducts for an impoverished community.

Ostrower trained for ten weeks before being placed in his Panamanian village. He learned basic construction skills and developed his technical knowledge, as well as learning Spanish.
