Peace Corps Week 2014

Hey Guys!

So this week is Peace Corps Week (and today is Peace Corps 53rd Birthday)!  I figure what better way to celebrate than to talk a little about the history of Peace Corps (just a blurb….you can read more here).  So Peace Corps started in 1961 under the Kennedy administration.  In his Executive Order, he said Peace Corps would "To promote world peace and friendship through a Peace Corps, which shall make available to interested countries and areas men and women of the United States qualified for service abroad and willing to serve, under conditions of hardship if necessary, to help the peoples of such countries and areas in meeting their needs for trained manpower" (See more on the Wiki page here).  Since this order, Peace Corps has sent volunteers to over 100 countries around the world.  

Well, as I said, just a blurb.  Be sure to read more information on the links I posted.  And be sure to celebrate Peace Corps Week by reading the experiences of volunteers around the world!  There is no shortage of awesome blogs on the interwebs!

Anyway, tata for now!
