Missouri Reflections on the Peace Corps
“Peace Corps and a tie to Bulgaria have become a major part of my identity now that I’m back in the States. I think Peace Corps allows you a chance to truly see another way of life, and to experience a culture and a language first-hand. I’ve found Bulgarians in America to be very welcoming, and wherever I have lived, they are an important social network for me. Beyond that, Peace Corps taught me to ask questions about a system, a society, or a practice. I learned how to look beyond the surface of a challenge that faced a community, and to learn to adapt when a project or lesson didn’t go as planned.” Toni Schneider Bulgaria 2005-2007, Liberia 2009-2009 Richmond Heights, MO 63117
“...We Returned Peace Corps Volunteers are agents who can change attitudes among our citizenry about poverty will ultimately bring world peace.” Patricia Behler Peru 1962-1964 Jefferson City, MO 65109
