Happy National Peace Corps Week!

Remembering my days living in northeastern Kenya as a volunteer in the 1970s. It was an amazing experience that taught me so much about the developing world — and about myself.

This is a great week to learn more about the Peace Corps mission. It might change the course of your life.

Happy National Peanut Butter Day! In honor of the tasty, buttery spread, do some miles for Feeding America and the World Food Programme today! #EveryMealMatters

…especially those with peanut butter.

We hear from Volunteers all the time that peanut butter is a must-have during service! Did you eat a lot of it when YOU served?

Botswana is known for its basket weaving, ostrich egg shell jewelery, and hopefully soon, its sculpture. This was created at the Thapong Visual Arts Centre in the capital city, Gaborone. - Returned Peace Corps Volunteer Alexis Kanter
