Turkmenistan Pictures from an RPCV

We're getting closer and closer to Summer and our first ever Peace Corps Send-Off Party!  It is just a little over a week away and it looks like the weather is going to be gorgeous.

In the meantime here are some awesome pictures from an RPCV here in the Fairbanks area who was in Turkmenistan.

Fairbanks Area Send-Off Party!

Just to let everyone know, the group is having a send-off/Peace Corps info party.

May 3rd (Saturday) from 5-8pm at the Square Dance Pavilion at Pioneer Park.  It is a picnic event so please bring a dish to share!

There will be some Peace Corps goodies to give away, information about the Peace Corps for those interested in learning more, and some fun activities from around the world.  Everyone is invited whether you are leaving for the Peace Corps or not.

Our first blog

Welcome to the first post!  This blog is a connection to the Northern Alaska Peace Corps Friends (quite the mouthful, isn't it), a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer group (RPCV group).  Our hope is that this blog will be informative, interesting, breath taking, awesome, and maybe, possibly, save the world one day ;-).

Aside from all of that we hope that this will be a resource for people looking to become volunteers, people who are volunteers who want to know what is happening back home, and a place for RPCVs to connect with out RPCVs.  There will be many more blog posts to come.  We hope you enjoy the stories of RPCVs and find out about events in the Fairbanks area that you are interested in attending!

Peace!
