They don’t carry our culture; they carry universal values and principles that are so incredibly important for all of mankind … when President Kennedy— Sargent Shriver’s brother-in-law—signed an executive order more than 40 years ago providing for the establishing of the Peace Corps, he spoke about a nation of men and women anxious to sacrifi ce their energies and time and toil to the cause of world peace and human progress. That mission hasn’t changed. As a matter of fact, today the mission is needed more than ever… I believe Americans are still willing to sacrifi ce for causes greater than themselves. And the Peace Corps offers such a fantastic opportunity to do so.” President George W. Bush’s address at Peace Corps Director Gaddi Vasquez’s swearing-in, February 15, 2002 Dear Friend of the Peace Corps: Today, there are more than 7,700 Peace Corps Volunteers serving around the world, and I am pleased to report that they are doing outstanding work in realizing the goals of the Peace Corps. They are making important contributions to grass-roots projects in agriculture, education, the environment, health and HIV/AIDS education and prevention, small business development, and youth development.
