Peace Corps Seeks "Older" Water and Sanitation Volunteers

The Peace Corps is actively recruiting "older" volunteers, especially experienced water and sanitation professionals.

Here's a chance for those of you who "missed the boat" when you were younger to serve others and experience the adventure of working overseas. If you're contemplating retirement, this might be something to consider. You must be a USA citizen and at least 18 years old. There is no upper age limit.

If you sign up now, you could be overseas before the end of Spring.

Click here, call (USA only) 1-800 -424-8580 , or Download pc_press_release_water.pdf

You might want to read my two Peace Corps posts (16 January 2008 and 6 February 2008) on my other blog Campanastan. They are about Robert Strauss' New York Times provocative Op-Ed piece on the Peace Corps.

"Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
