I believe that older Americans are better prepared for Peace Corps and have huge advantages while serving abroad.

Though they represent less than 5% of the overall Volunteer population, Americans over the age of 50 are a valuable asset to the Peace Corps community.

I’m not a perfect gal. I’m not the prettiest, nor the smartest, nor the most fit. To be quite frank, there’s really nothing I can be considered “the best” at.

When a Peace Corps Volunteer arrives in their host community, they’re paired with a counterpart.

During my pre-service training, I spent three weeks living in a village in Oshana Region, learning Oshikwanyama and practicing teaching science.

As a college student, I made sure I never missed out on anything.

I enjoy gardening.

How do you select gifts for a family you’ve never met?
