U.S. Peace Corps Guyana had a reunion for volunteers who served in Guyana from 1966 to 1968. The turnout was huge and there was a display of souvenirs that were collected during that era. The attendees were treated to a 50th anniversary video that was made in-country.
More than 675 Peace Corps volunteers have served in Guyana since the program was established in 1967. Currently, 65 volunteers serve in Guyana. Volunteers work in the areas of education and health. Volunteers are trained and work in English, and receive some training in Creolese.
