Seven Peace Corp Volunteers to be sworn in today

The United States Peace Corps will be hosting a swearing-in ceremony for the 93rd group of Peace Corps Trainees at Frenches House today, August 4.

A release from the organisation states that this is a cohort of seven Peace Corps Trainees each of whom will commit themselves to two years of volunteer service in primary schools in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

They will work alongside counterpart teachers to strengthen the literacy skills of students at various schools across the country.

The first part of the event will be synchronised with the other three island nations where Volunteers serve: Dominica, Grenada and Saint Lucia. The second part will be dedicated to each country’s local reception of the Volunteers.
