  • Peace Corps service is quite difficult. It's not easy leaving friends and family for two years, living in an unfamiliar culture and speaking a foreign language. Most Volunteers have a meaningful impact in their communities, touching many lives along the way. But the road is bumpy; no service is without challenges. But overcoming challenges can lead to two of the most memorable years of a Volunteer's life.

    As senegalese I have to precise that « Asking permission » means letting them know when you’re leaving and when returning in order reassure them. Telling them when people come to you is nothing but for them to prepare the « Teranga » (hospitality) for your friends.
    Great video❤

    Wow... I served in Cameroon in the 80s. No host families, no cell phones, but just the same. This video was awesome and on target.

    Thank you so much for making this video. As an older female, it was really nice to see the transparency in the experience as I am very very heavily considering serving in 2022. I liked seeing the challenges and the rewarding experiences as I think it will fuel my drive to volunteer as well as manage my own expectations. Much love.

    Hmmm, I am currently in the application process. 62 y/o woman retired from healthcare. Now I am having second thoughts. Thank you for the honest informative video.
