US Peace Corps to return to Rwanda

VILLAGE URUGWIRO - Early next year, the United States Peace Corps will be returning to Rwanda. This was  revealed by the Director of Peace Corps, Ronald Tschetter, shortly after a meeting with President Paul Kagame at  Village Urugwiro yesterday. The program was interrupted by the 1994 Genocide of Tutsis. During a visit last February, outgoing US President George W. Bush announced the reopening of the Peace Corps programme in the country.  The Peace Corps is an organisation founded by former US President John F. Kennedy whose inspiration was for US citizens to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. “In January next year, we shall have 35 volunteers come to Rwanda to work in different communities across the country mainly in public health,” Tschetter explained in an interview.
