	Joan Keenan was a Peace Corps volunteer in Owensgrove in the '60s. She was one of two workshop participants to visit a former teaching site. The deserted "Arab shops" of the former Main Street were just one of the indications of the hardships the town has suffered in the last decade.
	Joan Keenan's hands-on science classes were a hit with teachers as they made a balance with ruler and string, created rain gauges out of plastic water bottles and droppers from reeds. Science, math and language lessons were often interdisciplinary.
Dr. Joan Safran Hamilton taught early childhood education. Since many of the partcipants teach kindergarten in post-war Liberia, where the lower grade classes are bigger than ever, her class was very popular. Some teachers said they were relieved to realize that children could not be expected to read and do multiplication at early ages.
