Max Lupushin is a Peace Corps Volunteer with the newest arrivals last October. Max is originally from Minsk, Belarus, but grew up and went to school in Atlanta with a major in History. He teaches computers at Palauli-Sisifo High School in the Savaii village of Salailua. He is implementing the teaching of the 20+ computers earlier obtained through the efforts of another Peace Corps Volunteer, Derek Marshall.
His immigrant parents questioned his wanting to join the Peace Corps. Why would you want to go to a third world country when we worked so hard to leave Belarus for the United States? Like other Peace Corps faced with the same question, he said the Peace Corps would look good on his resume for future employment or graduate school. What parent can resist that reasoning?
