Peace Corps Volunteer "Expedition Ramble" writes: Aaron Williams Came!
Yesterday Aaron Williams came to visit us at our training and talk with us, after he met with the Vice President of the DR of course! For those of you who don't know who Aaron Williams is, he is the new director of the PC, appointed recently by Obama. So why did he come to visit the PC in the DR you ask? Aaron Williams was a former PC Volunteer in the DR and while in his service he married a country native! His speech was by far the most motivational part of my training thus far. He talked to us about what he wants to do with the PC, and how he wants to change it and grow it. Apparently out of the 14,000 applications only 4,000 positions were available for the past entrance, which makes me feel really good about my resume!

I can only hope that he will be able to grow the PC as he promised and make the application promise slightly better than what I went through!
