Peace Corps in the News

Here's a few articles I found in the news today that are related to Peace Corps.

Michael McCaskey, the current CEO and Chairman of the Chicago Bears was a Peace Corps volunteer in Ethiopia.


This month the Peace Corps is celebrating 'National Native American Heritage Month'. There are currently sixteen Peace Corps volunteers serving in fourteen different countries who identify themselves as having Native American heritage.

Muriel Johnston, an 85 year old woman from Florida, is the oldest serving Peace Corps volunteer, currently working as a health volunteer in Morocco. Here's an article on secretary of state Hillary Clinton praising her service.
