New Peace Corps Volunteers begin their service in Niger

Twenty-five new Peace Corps Volunteers began their two-year tours of service in Niger, after completing nine-weeks of in-country training.  They were officially sworn-in by Ambassador Bernadette M. Allen in the presence of Nigerien government representatives at a ceremony at the Chief of Mission’s Residence on March 14, 2008.

 

The Volunteers will serve in villages in the regions of Tillabéri, Dosso, Tahoua, Maradi, and Zinder.  With their addition to the program, Peace Corps now has over 120 active Volunteers serving in Niger.
