President George W. Bush met today with 33 Peace Corps Volunteers at a special White House send-off event in honor of the 2008 National Volunteer Week. “The President has been an ardent supporter of the Peace Corps, not only by supporting the agency’s largest budget in history, but also through his personal touch in meeting with individual Volunteers when he travels.

Since 1961, more than 190,000 Volunteers have helped promote a better understanding between Americans and the people of the 139 countries

Forty-seven years ago, President John F. Kennedy in the Rose Garden sent the first team of Peace Corps Volunteers to Africa.

Peace Corps service is a 27-month commitment. To learn more about the Peace Corps, please visit our website: www.peacecorps.gov.
