This pioneering group of Response Volunteers brings a wealth of experience and expertise to address targeted needs identified by the Government of Nepal, spanning diverse sectors crucial for the nation’s development. With assignments ranging from promoting rural tourism to bolstering information technology and e-learning initiatives, these Volunteers are poised to make tangible, lasting impacts in communities across Gandaki, Bagmati, and Lumbini provinces.
Ambassador Thompson underscored the significance of the Peace Corps Response Program, emphasizing its tailored approach to addressing specific needs articulated by Nepalese partners. Beyond merely completing short-term assignments, these Volunteers are tasked with fostering meaningful relationships, facilitating knowledge exchange, and serving as exemplary representatives of the United States.
Integration into local communities, relationship-building, and embodying the values of cross-cultural exchange are integral aspects of the Peace Corps ethos, a sentiment echoed by both veteran and newly sworn-in Volunteers alike. This ethos has been central to the Peace Corps’ enduring presence in Nepal since the signing of the bilateral agreement in 1962, with nearly 4,000 Volunteers having served the nation over the decades.
With the addition of this inaugural group of Response Volunteers, the Peace Corps’ footprint in Nepal expands to encompass a total of fifty Volunteers serving across eight districts. Their dedication and commitment stand as a testament to the enduring partnership between Nepal and the United States, fostering mutual understanding, cooperation, and sustainable development for generations to come.
