U.S. Peace Corps Returns To Liberia
This article, by Todd Pittman of the Associated Press and featured in numerous national press publications, highlights Peace Corps' return to Liberia after an absence of nearly two decades because of civil war in that country.
Peace Corps Director Ronald A. Tschetter said in the article that Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf had been calling for the Peace Corps to return, and has urged the agency to focus on what she saw as the most crucial need: education.
The Volunteers who will be serving in Liberia are in a program called Peace Corps Response, which mobilizes former volunteers for short-term assignments worldwide. Tschetter said in the article that he hopes the Volunteers will be able to "hit the ground running" and get the program moving faster.
