A Historical Overview of the Peace Corps in Panama
The Peace Corps first arrived in Panama in 1963, at a time when the country was facing a number of challenges, including poverty, illiteracy, and lack of access to healthcare. Peace Corps volunteers worked in a variety of sectors, including education, health, and agriculture, and they quickly began to make a difference in the lives of Panamanians.
In the early years of the Peace Corps program in Panama, volunteers focused on working with rural communities. They taught in schools, built houses, and provided healthcare. As the program grew, volunteers began to work in urban areas as well, and they expanded their focus to include environmental protection and economic development.
Today, the Peace Corps program in Panama is one of the largest and most successful in the world. There are currently more than 200 Peace Corps volunteers serving in Panama, and they are working on a wide range of projects, including education, health, agriculture, and environmental protection.
