Title

Peace Corps Experiences in Thailand

Description

The Peace Corps is an experience open to US citizens. It is unique to those individuals, the country they are hosted by, the group they train with, and eventually the community they live and work in. There are three goals of Peace Corps;

  1. help other countries meet their needs with trained volunteers
  2. help Americans understand other peoples
  3. help other peoples understand Americans.

This presentation is to familiarize you with the Peace Corps Experience, the people and culture of Thailand and how Peace Corps follows you forever.
