!["The Peace Corps gave me a wonderful opportunity to learn about my heritage through the eyes of someone else. No matter what your ethnicity, the Peace Corps gives you a chance to discover life and the world. After being a Volunteer, you know yourself better and have a greater sense of what you believe in. You look at America in an entirely new light and feel that you are part of a global community-the human tribe." -Nicole Dicanio (Ghana 2000-2002)](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/eot2008/20090114193338im_/http://www.peacecorps.gov/images/center/learn/whovol/dicanio_q.gif)
