- Title
- Agriculture Pernambuco Agricultural Cooperatives Summer 1969 Draft
- Date
- 1969
- Description
- The Peace Corps - Pernambuco (PC-PE) Agriculture Cooperatives project description was drafted in mid-1968 to request replacements for the first FECOMIPE (Federation of Mixed Cooperatives in the State of Pernambuco) Cooperatives group (December 1967 – December 69) for on-site placement in October 1969. The document was based on six to eight months of experience with the first Pernambuco Agriculture Cooperatives group. The Peace Corps project description was a document required by the Peace Corps bureaucracy to request a group of Volunteers. Since the process of approval, recruitment and training took about nine months, a decision to request a new or replacement group needed to be made one year in advance of expected placement in the field.

Delwyn, a former hospital controller, worked in business administration programs, including small business consulting and hospital administration. Claire, a fluent French speaker, taught French at a high school as well as at the Alliance Française. The Zieglers participated in the Peace Corps' experiment with families.

The Zieglers were part of a group of five families recruited for Colombia.
