\"salinan\"<\/a><\/p>\n

D<\/strong>uring the past 16 months in Panama, 28-year-old\u00a0 James Bowden has learned to live with no electricity, getting his water from a creek, and dealing with the heat, different foods and a flesh-eating disease, in addition to the 40 pounds he lost in his first four months there.<\/p>\n

Those trials also include close encounters with insects.<\/p>\n

\u201cI live with scorpions in my house,\u201d Bowden said. \u201cI\u2019ve had them crawling on me while I was asleep. They\u2019re everywhere. There are poisonous snakes all throughout the area, and it\u2019s just something you must adapt to. You can\u2019t live your life scared.\u201d<\/p>\n

All of these challenges come with the 27-month commitment he made in June 2014 to serve with the Peace Corps in Panama.<\/p>\n

A 2005 Salina Central High School graduate, Bowden talked about his experiences in Panama during a recent visit home to attend his sister Christina\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n

Shortly after he graduated from Bethany College in 2009 with a degree in chemistry, Bowden spent six months in Chile working as a volunteer on a ranch that was being converted to a nature preserve. But for him, nothing compares to Panama.<\/p>\n

Getting used to the heat<\/h4>\n

\u201cBeing in Panama, I had to get used to the heat, a different diet and not eating foods that I\u2019m used to enjoying,\u201d Bowden said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI caught a flesh-eating protozoa disease called Leishmaniasis, and I also caught Dengue fever,\u201d he said, displaying a scar on his neck from one of the diseases.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to get all sorts of treatment and really get used to the fact that I may be catching diseases a lot out here. Every couple of months, someone has to go to the doctor for a disease. It\u2019s just a thing. There\u2019s so much moisture and humidity here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The water he gets from the creek has to be treated by boiling or bleach.<\/p>\n

\u201cI certainly prefer to boil it,\u201d he said with a laugh. \u201cBeing here has given me more perspective with my own culture. I get to see that we all have some of the same problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere, kids leave farms to go elsewhere and make a better living. It\u2019s not just America. I also see how infrastructure affects cultures. Without it, cultures are primitive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Working as an ag agent<\/h4>\n

Bowden, who is joined by a few members of the Peace Corps in Panama, works as a sustainable agriculture sector agent and is in charge of overseeing various conservation programs and training.<\/p>\n

\u201cI teach environmental health and help deal with basic needs involving crops in my area, such as corns, beans and bananas,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m in charge of all cacao grown in the area, and I go throughout communicating with people who are producing them.\u201d<\/p>\n

He wishes his hometown of Salina had more of the hospitality shown by Panamanians.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just don\u2019t feel like that happens as much back home as it does here,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople here don\u2019t have much, but they want to share what they do have with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Always has his machete<\/h4>\n

Another highlight of his stay in Panama has been interacting with children in his area, spear fishing and playing with his new toy \u2014 a machete.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love that thing and I can\u2019t go anywhere without it,\u201d he said. \u201cLike I said, there are poisonous snakes here, and I use it to fend them off. I use it to peel oranges, gardening, everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bowden also said he enjoyed having his brother, Carl, visit him for 10 days.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shared an experience with kids in the village,\u201d he said. \u201cWe put an air mattress in the creek and let them get on it with us, and it was a thrill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carl, 23, graduated from Kansas State University this past spring with a double major in wildlife biology and environmental science and a minor in business. He works with the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America with the environmental specialist program.<\/p>\n

He, too, yearns for different experiences, having spent the summer of 2013 in Wyoming tracking mountain lions and collecting data.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s what he wants to do<\/h4>\n

Bowden\u2019s mother, Nancy, said she speaks with him about once a week for 20 to 30 minutes, something James said \u201chelps me get through the week sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve kind of gotten used to the kind of person James is \u2014 adventurous,\u201d said Nancy, who\u2019s worked for OCCK for the past 24 years. \u201cOf course, I miss him a lot, but it\u2019s something he wants to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

James\u2019 father, John, is manager of the Morton Building Co., where he has worked for more than 40 years while also taking care of the family farm, located 3 miles east of Gypsum. The farm has been in the family since 1871.<\/p>\n

Being a travel writer<\/h4>\n

Bowden has 11 more months in Panama with the Peace Corps, but already he has his eyes open to the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really want to become a travel writer,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m considering applying for a Horizons Grant through the Salina Arts and Humanities Commission and hopefully get to share my photos and experiences with others through the Salina Journal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like it\u2019s important for me to reinvest in my community. This is my home. I travel everywhere and help their cultures move forward. I want to do the same for Salina.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before that, Bowden must find a way to incorporate the family\u2019s business into his plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really trying to figure out what I\u2019m going to do when I come back in 11 months,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m supposed to be next in line to take over the family farm. I want to make sure I can fit that into my plans of traveling. There\u2019s a lot that people can learn, and that can be taught through traveling and I certainly want to make that happen, no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about connections<\/h4>\n

Bowden said he\u2019s going to continue to travel, because life is all about the connections we make with others.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding relationships with people who are different than you really has an effect on you,\u201d he said. \u201cWhether they\u2019re coworkers or indigenous people, that bond between everyone makes for a deeper connection.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
