Peace Corps' annual budget for 8,700 volunteers around the world, is less than the US spends in 5 hours in Iraq.

katiehiebert:

I can’t believe people actually talk about getting rid of the Peace Corps, like it is such a burden on the American taxpayer. 

The entire annual budget of the Peace Corps is less than the budget of the army marching band.

Hello There. Whether you meant to get here or not you have somehow managed to find my blog. This isn’t any old blog, you know. This is my attempt to document my time spent serving with the Peace Corps as an education volunteer in Namibia. There will be good stories, photos, and perhaps a short movie or two. So get ready for a great Armchair Adventure!
