To commemorate the 43rd anniversary of the founding of
the Peace Corps, returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) will
celebrate Peace Corps Week on March 1 through March 7,
2004.
RPCVs will be visiting classrooms,
community organizations, and workplaces throughout the United
States to share the knowledge and insights gained from their
overseas experiences.
As every RPCV knows, part
of the Peace Corps' mission is to educate Americans back home
about the people with whom they |
|
|
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
lived and worked. When RPCVs speak about their Peace
Corps experiences, they enrich the lives of students,
neighbors, and colleagues. RPCVs also raise awareness of the
Volunteers' ongoing global contributions and plant the seeds
of community service.
Peace Corps Week is your
opportunity to promote a better understanding of the people of
your host country among the people of your current
community.
Last year, more than half a million
students welcomed RPCVs into their classrooms nationwide.

RPCVs also gave presentations to community groups, at
their workplace, and in places of worship. Through the sharing
of their overseas experiences, RPCVs build bridges across
cultures.
