Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peace Corps/The Gambia currently works in three development sectors: education, the environment, and health and community development. Regardless of their sector-specific assignments, Volunteers working in The Gambia have ample opportunity to work with colleagues in other sectors, as well as in secondary activities such as HIV/AIDS education, youth and gender development, and girls' education. In the course of their work, Volunteers become an integral part of their local communities and, at the same time, have the opportunity to share U.S. culture with their host families, villages, counterparts, and supervisors. This cross-cultural understanding is as essential to the Peace Corps' mission as the technical assistance Volunteers provide.
