End of Peace Corps Service

August 27th, 2008 Lima, Peru

After 2 years, 2 months and 4 days as a Peace Corps Volunteer, I am no longer. Today I had Close of Service duties at the Peace Corps Office. Basically, I had to take a bunch of surveys about my experience and take care of last minute stuff like health insurance.

I really enjoyed my Peace Corps experience and would recommend Peace Corps to anyone. The organization really takes care of its volunteers and as well as providing support, offers good technical training. Due to the economic crisis stateside, it may be a good time for individuals to join Peace Corps and ride out the turmoil across seas. Think about it.

I feel good about ending my service. I really do feel like I made a difference and gave hopeless people hope for the future. Furthermore, I learned alot during my two years and honestly believe the experience will continually provide wisdom as I live life. I encourage you to consider serving your country and your fellow man.
