  • no you can't pick, but you can request a country or region - and you can always turn down a placement.

  • Thanks for all the great comments!! I highly recommend Peace Corps to anyone - just remember to go in with an open mind and NO EXPECTATIONS of what your service will be like - everyone's experience is different. Also, remember there are very rewarding and very challenging aspects to Peace Corps. Prerequisites - Bachelor's degree and passing the physical, background check, you can't have any debt besides student loans........

  • do you get to pick the countries?..just curious.

  • Great job on the video Ben..I served in Ha Ramabanta 97-99 before digital cameras were around. I still miss the mountain kingdom. Too bad you didnt catch the tokalosi on film.

  • I am happy for you.

  • I can NOT wait to do the Peace Corps.... I have been dreaming about it for years.

  • kudos to you man, but honestly that life looks like it sucks hella bad. I'm sure as hell glad I'll never have to deal with any of that crap.

    I did something similar in japan for a while, but for 1 month, and i NEVER want to do anything like it ever again.

    But, although i think it's a lost cause, i'm glad you made a diff. in the kid's lives.

  • really good video thank you...!

  • i really wanna join and go to swaziland or madagascar

  • WOW. I'm seriously choked up.

  • peace rain and prosperity--the life of the besotho
