this is the equivalent of peace corps but domestic. they work in poor neighborhoods.oing back that many years we had the same kind of training. for a full day. not just paper. but full day. so we could try to get ourselves to understand and appreciate the people we're working with and not bring in our privileged background with us as we went in the villages. you may think it's radical. >> greg: it is. >> bob: and the rest -- well, okay. but it served a purpose i think for us to remind us that we had to leave behind the life we were living and understand the life they were living. >> greg: what you are talking about is something noble but don't you agree that it has changed in the modern activist is now about white liberal guilt? >> bob: no, i don't. but i don't think that this is an example of trying to perpetuate blacks believing there is racism. there is racism. it won't go away because you say it will go away. i think people who work in the inner cities, as vista volunteers need to have a much better appreciation for the people and the lives they live. >> dana: the

it is basically the peace corps. the peace corps was created and the basic concept was take energetic college kids give them a month or two of training and take them off to botswana and build dams. we take those same college kids and we put them through a month course about how to teach about health. we put them in school systems around the country. they teach the kids about what to eat and a share with the kids how to get better exercise. what they really do is to give the kids mental resilience. that is what health is all about. if people can control what is happening in their bodies, they can change the world outside their bodies. if they cannot even take care of their own habits, how can they make a difference in their health? when kids your that message, it resonates with them. kids sharing insight with them about the world. all of a sudden, the big conversation happened and they will change what they do in their lives. it is a very inexpensive program. it cost about a dollar per kid. it is privately funded with
