Author Leslie Noyes Mass reads from her memoir Back to Pakistan: A Fifty-year Journey. The book vividly details the lifelong educator's 2009 return to remote Pakistan to train female teachers with the Citizens Foundation. Comparing her modern experiences with reflections on her 1962 visit as a Peace Corps volunteer, Dr. Mass presents a moving portrait of a changing country not often captured on the nightly news.
Dr. Mass holds a Ph.D in early and middle childhood education from The Ohio State University and retired in 2007 as the director of the Early Childhood Center at Ohio Wesleyan University.
