as far as the safety issue....I lived in Rural Zaire.... I felt safe in my
village and surrounding villages.... my villagers worried about me when I was
gone.... and always  insisted I be careful on my motorcycle... told me about
villages that weren't worth the effort.  In other words I was a daughter to
some members of the village and they watched out for me.

Once I was to go into a town call tshela and my farmers and friends warned me
of a riot that was in Tshela..... at first I did not want to believe them...
but later found out it was true from my fellow PC volunteers in the area.
Another time I came down with a severe case of malaria and they sent for the
missionary to come help me .....

I have heard other stories how farmers and villages have protected their PC
volunteer however I have also heard about  volunteers being shut out from the
lives of their villagers.... but usually PC will remove you if you don't feel
safe in the village they had assigned you or you have the option to leave.
