    PEACE CORPS WEEK IN YEREVAN

    Aysor
    March 1 2010
    Armenia

    Peace Corps Week commemorates the occasion when President John
    F. Kennedy, in a speech at the University of Michigan, outlined
    his idea for a program that would send thousands of young Americans
    overseas.

    It is a week to celebrate not just the accomplishments of Peace Corps
    Volunteers, but to recognize the efforts of all people who give their
    time and support to address community needs.

    Today, the third annual Volunteer Recognition ceremony was held in
    honor of Peace Corps week at the US Embassy.

    Ambassador Marie L. Yovanovitch and Peace Corps Armenia Director
    Lee Lacy kicked off Peace Corps Week in Armenia by recognizing and
    presenting certificates of appreciation to exceptional Armenians
    who have exhibited excellence in volunteerism and service within
    their communities.

    This year, once again, Peace Corps Armenia staff and volunteers will
    be promoting the Peace Corps and the value and merit of national
    service and volunteerism across Armenia through a variety of events
    and activities designed to raise public awareness.
