Woman Begins Peace Corps Stint
SHE PLANS TO TEACH LIFE SKILLS IN MOLDOVA
By CARL ORTH
The Suncoast News
A New Port Richey woman is volunteering with the Peace Corps by teaching life skills for two years in Moldova.
Amanda Golub will work with her hosts in the Eastern European nation, between Romania and Ukraine, to bolster their health and social development, Peace Corps officials say.
Golub, 22, left the United States last month to begin her training.
"She's having a wonderful time," said her mother, Marjorie Golub, executive director of the Holiday-based Pasco Arts Council. "It's quite an experience."
Marjorie and Burt Golub might visit their daughter next summer in Moldova, which split from the Soviet Union in 1991.
With its bountiful natural resources, Moldova relies on agriculture and related industries and animal husbandry to fuel its economy.
Golub, a University of Richmond graduate, holds a degree in political science, specializing in Russian studies. She joined the Peace Corps to become a contributing member of the global community, she has said.
About 253 Floridians are serving overseas with the Peace Corps on assignments that typically last a little more than two years.
Volunteers get all expenses paid, free language and cross- cultural training, complete medical and dental coverage, possible student loan deferment, graduate school opportunities and a $6,075 relocation allowance after a two-year tour.

| Military Option sparks concerns The U.S. military, struggling to fill its voluntary ranks, is allowing recruits to meet part of their military obligations by serving in the Peace Corps. Read why there is rising opposition to the program among RPCVs. Director Vasquez says the agency has a long history of accepting qualified applicants who are in inactive military status. John Coyne says "Not only no, but hell no!" Latest: RPCV Chris Matthews to discuss the issue on Hardball tonight. |
| 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. |
