Current Volunteers: Travis Hellstrom Mongolia 2008 - 2010 Just started training and "...is currently invited to serve as a Health Extension Volunteer in Mongolia....."(more blog...)
2000s: Allison Matlack Lesotho 2005 - 2007 ....And I'm proud of the work that I did. It felt like I didn't do much, but once I looked at my final DOS, I was like, "Wow. I DID something."
1990s: Dennis Latimer Honduras 1990 - 1994 Peace Corps Area Manager 1998 - 1999 Crisis Corps Director Honduras "...PCV Assignment: Ministry of Natural Resources and Peace Corps/Honduras. Sep. 1981 to Jan. 1985. Organized, planned, and developed financial analysis of development projects for dairy farms within assigned region."
1980s: Robert Dugan Philippines 1983 - 1985 "...I worked in a rural farming/fishing community of 50,000 at the southern tip of the island of Negros Oriental."
1970s: Michael Hudson Niger 1978 - 1980 "...Air Force, taught on Indian Reservations, and served as the vice president of the International Development Organization at the University of Utah, served as the co-founder and vice president of the Center for Humanitarian Outreach and Inter cultural Exchange."
1960s: Harlan Green Turkey 1964 - 1966 "...Lesson's Learned....Peace Corps volunteers were in Turkey from 1961-1971, until anti-Vietnam war sentiment forced us out. PC's demise in Turkey was also a result of putting too many ill-prepared volunteers in the field at once, which alarmed very nationalistic Turkish public. There are still strong bonds between returned PC volunteers and Turkish counterparts."

Make a page about your own Peace Corps experience! You are even encouraged to add to the suggestions page on ways to improve Peace Corps Wiki, or view which articles have recently been edited. Add RRS for updates to the site.

Current Volunteers should still keep in mind their own safety and security, cultural sensitivity, and the fact they are in-country representing the United States. See Manual Section 204 regarding Volunteer conduct and Section 543 regarding Volunteer use of information technology tools.
