happy birthday peace corps

March 2011 commemorates the 50th anniversary of Peace Corps and I'm proud to be an active volunteer in a country that has hosted volunteers since its inauguration. Ghana first hosted PCVs back in 1961 and has continued to do so, uninterrupted, for the past fifty years. You hear of other posts closing or evacuating for some months or years, but fortunately in Ghana, that has never been the case.
