On October 23, Saturday, The Eunice Kennedy Shriver Challenge will be held at The Washington Monument. This is a competitive event that supports Best Buddies and Special Olympics and commemorates the lifetime legacy of service of Eunice Kennedy Shriver and Sargent Shriver. I am raising funds for these amazing organizations by bicycling 20 miles in TEAM SARGE in appreciation of Sargent Shriver's lifetime legacy of service while honoring his wife Eunice.
The Experiment in International Living (EIL)/World Learning Sarge was an Experimenter in the 1930's three times (to France, Germany and Austria) The Peace Corps Sarge was the first Peace Corps Director; he hired The Experiment to train the first Peace Corps volunteers in the 1960s. Office of Economic Opportunity/War on Poverty Sarge started VISTA, Legal Aid for the Poor, Headstart, Job Corps, Foster Grandparents, Community Action, Special Olympics.
Sarge was Chairperson of the Board and immensely globally expanded its reach. Any amount you contribute is greatly appreciated. No contribution is too small.

Peace Corps Online The Independent News Forum serving Returned Peace Corps Volunteers
| Big Omission in Comprehensive Report The Peace Corps has always neglected the third goal, allocating less than 1% of their resources to it, so when Aaron Williams promised Senator Dodd to provide a "Comprehensive Assessment Report" with ideas to strengthen and reform the agency's operations we expected to see some forceful recommendations to address this critical weakness. Read the report and our commentary on the big omission in the third goal that committee members didn't address, discuss, or even mention. |
| Memo to Incoming Director Williams PCOL has asked five prominent RPCVs and Staff to write a memo on the most important issues facing the Peace Corps today. Issues raised include the independence of the Peace Corps, political appointments at the agency, revitalizing the five-year rule, lowering the ET rate, empowering volunteers, removing financial barriers to service, increasing the agency's budget, reducing costs, and making the Peace Corps bureaucracy more efficient and responsive. Latest: Greetings from Director Williams |
