Peace Corps Staff - An Appreciation

Peace Corps Office Peru

Most folks see the Peace Corps as the Volunteers and the ways we serve our communities. But, there is another group that often goes unseen and unrecognized - The Peace Corps Staff. These are the good people that make it possible for the Volunteers to do what they do. They keep us safe and healthy. They find the communities and housing in which we live. They train us and guide us and make sure we have the tools and support we need to serve our communities.

When I was the ECPA Volunteer Coordinator in Peru, I worked in the Lima office and got to know the staff there on a daily basis. Each and every one of them is dedicated to the Peace Corps mission of making the world a better, healthier, friendlier and more peaceful place. They perform brilliantly and genuinely care about us Volunteers and what we do.

The Volunteers get all the accolades and glory, but PC Staff are the people behind the curtain. Our success is their success, too. They are truly deserving of our thanks and respect, which they earn every day.
