VOLUME 5 ISSUE 1 Page 3 Take 5 By Pau3a! Person Dear Pau3a! People, This year marks the 5th year for Pau3a!, Peace Corps Quarterly magazine. Why celebrate the big 5? Well, it’s big milestone to Peace Corps Macedonia that the new MAK 11 is the 5th successful group to arrive here since previous evacuations. For 5 years, Volunteership in Macedonia is at an all time high and we’re growing well. Pau3a! was started by MAK 7 volunteers as a laid-back publication for Volunteers in Macedonia, which featured activities of PCVs, the ever popular horoscopes, comics, crosswords, interviews, and good recipes for a taste from home. MAK 8 Volunteers brought new ideas to the magazine, like the UFO (Unidentified Foreign Objects), usually cheap household items that imitate a popular American brand by having a similar name. Music reviews and even articles from Volunteers in Eastern European PC programs were included. A music CD of Macedonian music was also released with one edition. MAK 9 and 10 Volunteers have continued to keep the magazine going on a roughly quarterly schedule. We hope this will continue and that you are enjoying your Pau3a! time. In honor of the 5th year, we are running some of the first articles ever printed in the magazine from the wisdom of the previous MAK groups. These articles come from the second edition of Pau3a! In 2003. New things are added in every edition, so keep those submissions coming! Enjoy!
