Resistance
[Excerpt]
The recent events are very sad to all of us here right now. We are all safe and accounted for (they moved all volunteers out of Andijan and into Tashkent) and things appear to be settling down. I would be treading on sensitive terrain if I give to much of an opinion on the events but I can say that we're all keeping our eyes and ears open for news and hope for the safety of those that we are here to serve.

Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000 strong
170,000 is a very special number for the RPCV community - it's the number of Volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961. It's also a number that is very special to us because March is the first month since our founding in January, 2001 that our readership has exceeded 170,000. And while we know that not everyone who comes to this site is an RPCV, they are all "Friends of the Peace Corps." Thanks everybody for making PCOL your source of news for the Returned Volunteer community.
