![Richard Cowles poses with women selling garlic, dried ginger and tomato powder during his daily visit to the market in Chad in 1994, where he was stationed as a member of the Peace Corps from 1993-1996. "In Chad, we took a [bucket bath] pretty much every night," Cowles said. "It's not like here in Austin where you are traveling in your car or have a nice classroom and don't get dirty so easily. My classroom in Chad had dirty floors, and I had to walk to school because it was not far away, and everything there was a little bit more dusty."
