Peru 19 Closing of Service

Peace Corps Peru-Group 19. It seriously feels like just yesterday that we all met for the first time during Peace Corps staging in Washington DC and then flew out to Peru a day later to start this crazy journey together. We all went through training together during our first 10 weeks in Peru before separating to move to different parts of all over Peru to begin our two years of service. And now almost two years later, we are just about to finish up our service and we only have a few months left in Peru.

Every country in Peace Corps has a COS (Close of Service) conference for volunteers which generally takes place a few months before we leave country to get us mentally prepared to do so. Peru 19 had their COS conference about a week ago. They sent us all to Lima to have our final dental and medical appointments as well as a two day conference to reflect about our service and talk about the future. It was a real wake up call and a good start to the closure for our two years in Peru as we get ready to close our projects and leave our communities.

Peru 19: The most adventurous and inspirational group of people that I have had the opportunity to be a part of who have already made a difference in this world and will continue to do so throughout life!  


Youth Development volunteers know how to bring out our inner child :-)


Two years has flown by and we will soon part ways. But my fellow volunteers will be friends that I have for life!
