A new group of 14 U.S. Peace Corps Volunteers have been sworn-in, bringing to 20 the number of Peace Corps Volunteers currently serving in Liberia. The new Volunteers are high school teachers who will teach English, Mathematics and Science at the schools in Grand Cape Mount, Bomi, Lofa, Bong, Nimba, River Gee, Grand Gedeh and Grand Bassa counties.

The swearing-in of these new Volunteers, who will be in Liberia on a two-year assignment, marks the resumption of the full Peace Corps Program in the country since its suspension in 1990. The Peace Corps Program was first started in Liberia in 1962. Between 1962 and 1990 more than 3,800 Peace Corps Volunteers served in the country.

The Peace Corps Volunteers were sworn-in on Friday, August 27, during a ceremony at the C. Cecil Dennis Auditorium at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Monrovia. The event was witnessed by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, U.S. Chargé d’ Affaires Karl Albrecht, and other U.S. Embassy officials.
