In his compelling memoir, "Return to Bafia," Paul J. Hamel takes us on an unforgettable expedition to a remote African town as a Peace Corps volunteer from 1969 to 1972. Far removed from the comforts of modern life, Bafia lacked internet, television, phones, electricity, running water, and paved roads. Hamel's enthralling narrative unveils his remarkable metamorphosis during this time, leaving an enduring impact on his life. Through introspection, Hamel describes his life-altering adventures that continues to shape his perspective even decades later. He delves into the lessons learned: self-reliance, appreciating the little things, selfless giving, and the profound joy of making a positive difference in others' lives. In 2013 Paul returned to Cameroon, accompanied by his sister, Darleen Guien, to witness the changes that have occurred over the past half-century. The contrast between his Peace Corps days and the present adds depth to his reflections. "Return to Bafia" is an inspiring testament to the enduring impact of the Peace Corps experience, igniting the spirit of adventure and encouraging a broader appreciation for diverse cultures. Through Paul's story, readers embark on a journey of self-discovery and the remarkable capacity for positive change within us all.
