I can't wait for what Madagascar has in store for me. Accepted my invitiation last week. I'm truly excited for what is in store. Thank you for sharing.

[rockindancer86]

Beautiful pictures, but I'm more struck by the song - it gives me chills.

I'm currently a nominee, waiting on an invitation. Thanks for sharing this video!

[Heartze]

Plan on joining after getting my BS in Biology. :D

[sarsfieldusmc]

Peace Corp peeps are the only hippies i can stand

[sarsfieldusmc]

all they have to put in these commercials is

"Go to exotic places and do exotic girls"

[BornAgainLiberal]

@sarsfieldusmc except thats not the kind of ppl there trying to attract

[zunoshad]

il be out there with you guys in 2011 :D i was gonna be in the AF(air force) but PC is way better and im going with my fiance applying senior year :DDD

[ayan574]

Good luck to you from PC Azerbaijan!

[TickleMeElmo55]

I was going to join the armed forces, but the Peace Corps has my vote. I'll be applying my senior year of college, and I hope I'll be taken in. You don't need to carry a gun to make a difference.

[manbigus]

I applied my Senior year in college. Six months after I graduated I was in Niger, West Africa. Peace Corps truly was the most exciting time of my life. I have done 3 tours now. I hope you apply and are accepted. Peace Corps is a BLAST.

[TickleMeElmo55]

When you say tours, do you mean in the armed forces or PC?

[manbigus]

Tour in this case being 27 months in Peace Corps. Three months of training and two years of work.

[Veca60hunter]

Agreed TickleMeElmo55, I joined the Armed Forces and wow... what a mistake. Can't wait to get out and join the Peace Corp and other volunteer groups :)

[InfernalPenguin]

@TickleMeElmo55 agreed. but, you need a bachelors degree

[TickleMeElmo55]

@InfernalPenguin You don't need a college degree to be accepted into the PC but its preferred. For those that don't have a bachelor's degree they need X number of years of experience in their respective craft (carpenter, plumber, farmer, electrician etc.) to be considered. That's why I said I'll apply when I'm a senior in college since I'll have my bachelor's degree by then.

[WeasleyOurKing]

I like to move it, move it. She like to move it, move it. He like to move it, move it. We like to, MOVE IT!

[JesseTrumpet45]

What song was playing?? I really liked it :)

[delikedi17]

i will be getting my masters while serving in the peace corps in africa. it is a great opportunity to be able to fulfill both :)

[10qpalzmxncbv]

I am also thinking about joining.  I am only 16 so I have a while to wait but I am excited.

[CarolinaGurl99]

I really want to join the peace corps. My reason for joining is that i want to see the world, and i want to make a difference on someone's life. i think it is amazing how one person can change so many lifes. i want to be a teacher in the peace corps

[popcorngurl25]

Can't wait to join after college.

[corrinajs]

Best of luck to you. The world needs more people like you, oops, I mean us.

[swivet2]

I'm a returned Peace Corps volunteer from Madagascar. I don't know the name of this song, but it's a traditional song from the northern part of the island. It's about homesickness and wanting to go home.

[corrinajs]

Were you part of the evacuation? I was in the first group to be evacuated because of civil unrest. It hurts your heart. What sector where you in? Where was your site?

[vickyToria97]

I am going to join when i turn 18 right away

[jennasauris]

good luck, vicky. they only take college graduates, unless you have like 10 years experience in some sort of useful field. go to college first! :)

[rosered17]

@vickyToria97 Good Luck. Usually, applicants are more likely to be accepted with a college degree.

[TheJomogogo]

@vickyToria97

You HAVE to be a college grad to join the Peace Corps. And hope they don't send you to some dangerous 3rd world craphole where the natives steal all your shit and kill you.....but not before they rape you for a week.

[InfernalPenguin]

@vickyToria97 you have to get a bachelors degree

[mikeLwiss]

I'm an RPCV, Peru 05-07; I'd love to know the name of the artist who sang the background song too.

[blakethehusky]

sooooo beautiful; people, landscape, music

[farrahblu]

Awesome vid. Could you please tell us who sings this??

[gropeti]

Awesome music! I would love to know who sings the song. Reminds me of my own Peace Corps service in the South Pacific. Everyone learns to sing and they all know the same songs. Very cool.

[BeneathSkiesOfDawn]

What was it like serving in the Peace Corps?

[deier]

Wonderful video and the music was so rich and filling I would say that it adds to the crisp photos in a way that helps to convey the culture and what you were trying to capture. Of course, I've spent some time in Ghana and I can put myself back to the sites and smells easily. Also, I'm working on finishing my Peace Corps application currently, is there any way we could get in touch?

[SingingCrab7]

Amazing pictures!

[Froggieholmes]

This is a great video
