To commemorate this anniversary and to look ahead to the future of the agency, Peace Corps Guatemala celebrated at the home of the US ambassador to Guatemala. Almost all 200 volunteers in Guatemala attended, plus Peace Corps Guatemala staff, representatives from the US embassy, and representatives from Peace Corps Washington.
At two hours, the ceremony was too long, but it meaningfully recognized the volunteers who completed their service (like my now-departed sitemate Rebecca) and the new volunteers who swore-in that morning (including Rob, who will take her place).
With less than four months left in my service, I am on my way out. I feel fortunate to be one of the 4,000 volunteers who have served in Guatemala, and I hope the agency will continue to thrive in the years to come.
