26 May, 2003

President Festus Mogae will tomorrow deliver the a note address to a graduation ceremony for 14 Peace Corps Volunteers at Molefhi Secondary School in Mochudi.

The US Ambassador to Botswana Joseph Huggins will swear in the volunteers and following the ceremony they will be assigned to assist the district AIDS co-ordinators in mainstreaming HIV/AIDS activities in the district development projects, according to a press release from the US Embassy.

They will live and work in Kanye, Lobatse, Tshabong, Ghanzi, Maun Kasane, Francistown, Masunga, Tutume, Ramotswa, Molepolole, Mahalapye, Selebi-Phikwe and Mochudi.

The Volunteers have been in Botswana for the past 10 weeks learning Setswana language, getting to know more about the Batswana culture and about the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

They have been living with Batswana families in Pilane, Phaphane, Rasesa East and Rasesa West and are the first group to arrive in Botswana since 1995. BOPA
