<p>How sad. My daughter wants to do Peace Corps. I know bad things can happen anywhere, but this can’t help but make me a little more nervous about the idea.</p>

<p>I am working with a young man who was just assigned to Kenya (peace corps) which made me a little nervous. </p>
<p>My daughter also wants to do Peace Corps - two years is a long time though</p>
<p>that is very sad-I will be interested to see govt response</p>
<p>Have your kids check out AmeriCorps instead; just as great an organization, only national. [url=<a href=“Loading...”>http://www.americorps.org/]AmeriCorps[/url</a>]</p>
<p>I don’t know about swimcatdaughter but mine doesnt wanna speak English.</p>
<p>She has already been to Europe, Africa and Asia, she is planning on study abroad in Australia and Peace Corps in South America</p>
<p>But I agree Americorps is a great organization- maybe she will do Teach for America</p>
