When I was in Peru as a Peace Corps volunteer, our group was only the second crew to go to Peru to serve. The Peace Corps was a completely new program for the people of Peru. Some might read that and think it was a disadvantage to be the so-called “guinea” pigs, but I actually preferred being the first American female the Peruvians met. In that manner, I paved the way for those to come. My time with the Peace Corps was amazing. I am happy to have served and wish everyone could or would be a part of Peace Corps, too. Highly recommended.
