Nepal
Nearly 3,650 Peace Corps volunteers served in Nepal from 1962 until 2004. There are currently 20 volunteers working in Nepal. The first group of Peace Corps volunteers since 2004 arrived in Nepal in September to work as agriculture-nutrition extensionists. They are working with rural communities in the hill regions of western Nepal to build local capacity in improving food security. Volunteers are trained and work in the Nepali language.
