“This signing shows expansion in relations between United States of America and the Swazi government and our government is committed to help in the development of Swaziland,” he said.
Parker added that his government, in the future will be working towards improving education in the country.
During the same occasion the Prime Minister Sibusiso Dlamini mentioned that there is a significant benefit in such assignments.
“To move from a comfortably affluent society into a developing country faced with a devastating HIV prevalence rate is a transition that challenges and then strengthens the emotional and moral fiber of the volunteer,” he said.

Dlamini added that these are wellmeaning people, who also realise that a further building block in their personal development can be obtained through helping to build a better life for individuals, their children and communities in developing countries.
“The Peace Corps programme continues to be an inspiration and its contribution to the development of our Nation is very much appreciated.
There is much evidence of the good work undertaken and the legacies that remain.
We shall always treasure that,” he said.
