The Ponds of Kalambayi by Mike Tidwell

Memoir
Early in his career, Tidwell devoted two years to working in the Peace Corps, teaching villagers to build ponds and raise fish in central Zaire. This well-written book is rich with stories of interesting people and insights into a culture very different from anything I've known. His experiences range from funny to heart-wrenching, and are always attention-grabbing.
