About the Match Handbook
The purpose of this guide is to help you make the most of your correspondence match. Think of it as a World Wise Schools starter kit. It introduces Peace Corps Volunteers and teachers to the program and provides suggestions for how to shape the exchange. It is our hope that, through your participation in this program, we can not only enrich students' reading, writing, research, and analytic skills, but also fulfill the Peace Corps goal of strengthening U.S. understanding of the world and its peoples.
By corresponding with a Peace Corps Volunteer, students will gain keen insight about what it is like to live and work in the country to which they are sending their letters.
