27 new Peace Corps Volunteers have been sworn-in. The Volunteers arrived in Moldova in June and recently completed a rigorous course of training to become English Education and Health Education teachers throughout Moldova. Additionally, the new Volunteers have begun learning Romanian and Russian, reports Info-Prim Neo, citing a communique from the US Embassy to Moldova. U.S. Ambassador to Moldova William Moser, who officiated at the swearing-in ceremony, along with Peace Corps Country Director Jeffrey Goveia, welcomed the new Volunteers into service with Peace Corps in Moldova. Currently, Peace Corps has 123 Volunteers serving in Moldova working in four areas: Small Enterprise Development, Community and Organizational Development, English Education, and Health Education. In 2012, Peace Corps trained a total of 65 Volunteers for service in Moldova. Peace Corps was founded on March 1, 1961. Today, 9,095 volunteers are working with local communities in 75 host countries. Peace Corps volunteers must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years of age. Peace Corps service is a 27-month commitment and the agency’s mission is to promote world peace and friendship and a better understanding between Americans and other peoples.
