U.S. Peace Corps Promises 1,000 More Workers to Fight AIDSMay 30, 2003 This article is part of TheBody.com's archive. Because it contains information that may no longer be accurate, this article should only be considered a historical document. As part of the $15 billion AIDS plan signed by President
Bush on Tuesday, the U.S. Peace Corp will add 1,000 workers to the
current 2,100 who are fighting HIV/AIDS around the globe. "Peace
Corps volunteers are making an impact at the local level, and by
committing an additional 1,000 volunteers, Peace Corps will be
able to enhance a number of programs and expand HIV/AIDS projects
in current Peace Corps countries," said Program Director Gaddi
Vasquez. "Also, more educational material, written in local
languages, will be developed for volunteers to use in their
communities." Since 1961, the Peace Corps has sent US volunteers
around the world to work on development projects in fields such
as education, health, business and agriculture.
