Peru 19!

Here is a group photo of Peace Corps Peru 19!! (Peru 19 means that we are the nineteenth Peace Corps group to be serving in Peru since they returned in 2001). These are the people that I spend forty hours a week with in training! We are all from different states all over the US and we are/will be each other's biggest support through out this two year Peace Corps journey! I thankful to be a part of this phenomenal group of volunteers and even more thankful to be a Peace Corps volunteer in general in the amazing country of PERU! I could have been placed anywhere and Peru is what I was given. Many, many Peace Corps applicants want to be placed in Latin America and very few actually are given that. So I feel so lucky to not only be in Latin America, but to be in a country as beautiful as Peru that has so many amazing sites to see and such a beautiful culture!

Peru 19. This photo was taken on our first full day together in Peru!
