"Life in the Peace Corps will not be easy. There will be no salary and allowances will be at a level sufficient only to maintain health and meet basic needs. Men and women will be expected to work and live alongside the nationals of the country in which they are stationed—doing the same work, eating the same food, talking the same language.

But if the life will not be easy, it will be rich and satisfying. For every young American who participates in the Peace Corps—who works in a foreign land—will know that he or she is sharing in the great common task of bringing to man that decent way of life which is the foundation of freedom and a condition of peace."

John F. Kennedy, 1961

Epilogue

It's been a month since I have returned home from successfully completing two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer as well as an additional year as a Regional Leader. Other than being cold and expensive, life is good. I would like to first thank everyone who has helped me through the years - friends, family, neighbors, staff, and especially fellow Peace Corps Volunteers. I could never have done this alone.

If anyone reading this blog has questions about my service or wants more information on Peace Corps in general, feel free to contact me at irobbins30@gmail.com . Another great resource for taking a look into the lives of Peace Corps Volunteers currently serving all over the world  is through http://peacecorpsjournals.com/ .
