Hi! I am a volunteer for an exchange student program called Center for Cultural Interchange. I place exchange students. I have a student from Turkmenistan to place in a host family around Chicago, IL. Last year a PCV family hosted a girl from Turkmenistan and enjoyed their experience. They suggested I place a note here so other PCVs can folow suit. The students speak English, are part of a scholarship program called FLEX, funded by the American government. Let me know if you want more information about hosting. Please call me at 630 784-4825.

I am considering going to Turkmenistan for a Peace Corps assignment but know nothing about the country. I would appreciate any information I could get.

Why is there no pvc director in Turkmenistan -for the last 6 months....Why are pcv's not being paid...Why send young minds to help others without support or guidance?

Good questions; To the first--it seems no one is willing to accept the director position for longer than 3 months. I am quite sure the PCVs are continuing to receive their living stipends....
In response to your third question, I lamented over this question thousands of times in the 7 months I spent as a PCV in Turkmenistan and am still asking it now. If I may ask, what is your connection to the subject? I check this list every so often, but am usually disappointed that there are no discussions. As an early terminee, I feel a degree of guilt for leaving, but I left committed to doing in the U.S. for Turkmenistan what I felt I could not while I was there. Keeping up a conversation on current events there, I feel, is part of that...so if you know others interested in Turkmenistan, please encourage them to post here as well.

I have JUST received an invitation to serve in Turkmenistan, not the country I wanted! Anyone who's been there recently on theTEFL Project, please contact me and tell me what's to like about the country!! I REALLY do want to like it, but I have already seen too much already about the heat, the flies, the bad host families, etc. I'll check this site daily.

Does anyone have the contact info of any of the supervisors in Ashgabat (like Rahman or Mehri)? Or does anyone know if there is a volunteer in Tejen City, Ahal Velayat? I'm trying to get a hold of my local supervisor when I was there from 2002-2004.
Thanks,
Caren
