DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis year, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps, signed into law on September 22, 1961, we celebrate the success of the Peace Corps' first 50 years. And today, we convene this hearing to evaluate what needs to be done to ensure its continued success over the next 50 years. When John F. Kennedy created the Peace Corps, he saw it as more than a quixotic agency of young people on a mission of peace. He saw it as a fulfillment, a fundamental fulfillment of our values as a nation. He sought to encourage a better understanding between Americans from every walk of life and the people and cultures of other nations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen the World Calls is the first complete and balanced look at the Peace Corps’s first fifty years. Revelatory and candid, journalist Stanley Meisler’s engaging narrative exposes Washington infighting, presidential influence, and the Volunteers’ unique struggles abroad. He deftly unpacks the complicated history with sharp analysis and memorable anecdotes, taking readers on a global trek starting with the historic first contingent of Volunteers to Ghana on August 30, 1961. In the years since, in spite of setbacks, the ethos of the Peace Corps has endured, largely due to the perseverance of the 200,000 Volunteers themselves, whose shared commitment to effect positive global change has been a constant in one of our most complex—and valued—institutions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTake some Inca, Aztec, Maya, and Moche, mix in Spanish, French, English, Dutch and Danish, stir it to the rhythmic beat of Africa and what do you get? A zesty brew, expressed in a callaloo soup of language, food, music, and religion. So much passion, so much sorrow. What seems familiar in the Americas often is not. For Peace Corps Volunteers, there is nothing to do but learn the language, roll up their sleeves, and get busy working alongside strangers who steal their hearts away. These stories take you on overland journeys to the Amazon Basin, into a village in Honduras terrorized by insurgent forces, and to the ball fields of Ecuador for an unusual game of "beisbol."
