I originally was trained for Peace Corps Peru's Agricultural Coop group in the Peace Corps Training site in Escondido, CA from July to Sept, 1970. After becoming ill in my Peruvian remote site, I was reassigned to Peace Corps Peru HQ office in Lima. The government decreed in late 1971 that all foreign volunteers had to have a host national watching over volunteer activities, as such and as there were no other acceptable opportunities in Peru, I was offered the options of early termination, or taking a spot with the Municipal Administration- FIAM program for Peace Corps Brazil.  I accepted the latter and started a two-part training program with about 20 other trainees:

First in Hartford, CT where some FIAM personnel were doing some sort of training, (February, 1972) for a few weeks, and then on to Belo Horizonte, MG for a month (Joselda Correa de Oliveira was a trainer), where after the program went to the Recife Office for assignment throughout Pernambuco. The program slowly disintegrated over the next 12 months or so. I finally gave up and terminated in March, 1973.
