A PC Survey from my LinkedIn Group

LinkedIn Groups

• Group: Peace Corps Community Network
• Subject: Better, Bolder Peace Corps - Take our Survey

Dear Peace Corps Community Network Member,

For the next phase of the our MorePeaceCorps Campaign, the National Peace Corps Association is seeking input from all members of the Peace Corps community (applicants, PCVs, family of PCVs, RPCVs, staff) on how to best improve and embolden the Peace Corps to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Between now and Thursday, October 22nd, we ask you to take our better, bolder Peace Corps survey.

Please follow this link to take the survey:

Because of the many issues to consider, please expect to set aside 10 - 20 minutes to complete this survey. After you finish, please forward this link to as many members of the Peace Corps community as possible. Initial results of the survey will appear in the winter edition of WorldView magazine.

Thank you in advance for your input.

Kevin F. F. Quigley

New Trainees

On August 20th 44 new Trainees will arrive in country.

Expectations will be rampant. Eyes will be bugging out of heads.

Will they arrive as we did? Heat unrelenting. Standing in the line at immigration dripping with sweat as well as drops of rain. Praying that both bags and their contents found their way from the States to Belize. Will they have pictures erased from their digital camera? No, you can't take pictures of the line at immigration. Yes, they want proof that they are gone. Who will absorb every detail and who will remember a frenzied blur? What will they think as the see their welcoming committee? We didn't have one. Last year we weren't allowed to contact any of the Trainees for weeks. Even then it was because of hurricane Dean.

With a new office staff hope runs rampant!
