the Peace Corps in Moldova In 1993, the government of Moldova
invited Peace Corps Volunteers to come to Moldova. The Peace
Corps’ first assignment was to help expand the English-teaching
capacity of Moldovan educators. Government representatives
believed that well-developed English language skills would help
Moldovans participate in the international community and global
economy by helping them gain access to a wealth of information,
resources, and markets. Current English education Volunteers
also incorporate environmental issues into the curriculum.
Recently, Peace Corps/Moldova has added projects in
organizational development, agriculture and agrobusiness, and
health education to assist the Moldovan government in addressing
the country’s economic and social development needs. Currently,
Peace Corps Volunteers are working in about 100 towns and
villages throughout the country. Since
