Four new Darien volunteers and me after their official swear-in ceremony.
All Peace Corps volunteers commit to 26-27 months abroad- 2-3 months of training and then two years of service in their host community. Though the experience is truly wonderful and life-changing, most volunteers are more than ready to head home at the end of those long 26 months. There are some volunteers, however, that just aren't quite ready to leave yet.
