Aaron Martinez writes to us from Armenia, “Ever since we could remember, both Salena and I have wanted to serve in the Peace Corps. It was a great surprise for both of us after four years of dating and one year of marriage, that we discovered that we had the same dream. Salena and I were married for almost two years before we started our Peace Corps service in Armenia in the summer of 2002. We had both worked for years in corporate America, and we were both attracted to the Peace Corps for the opportunity to work together on community-based projects, to spend more time with each other, and to learn about another culture. Serving together in the Peace Corps has allowed us to share our wonderful, sometimes difficult, yet always intense Peace Corps experience.
Armenia is a small country and many volunteers have sitemates. I consider myself the luckiest Armenia-Peace Corps volunteer because I have the best sitemate - my wife!”
