  • This was the site of a Danish effort in 1966 to introduce quality dairy cows into India. It was staffed by the Danish equivalent of the U.S. Peace Corps and had a similar site in Thailand. The Danish volunteers were very friendly with some nearby U.S. Peace Corps volunteers in 1966 and 67. One of the Danes was a man named Bo and the other was Henning Pedersen as I recall. I, Steve, and two other Americans, Diana and Peter were stationed in the town of Shivalli. I'd love to hear from either Bo or Henning again.
