Forty-three Peace Corps trainees arrived in Georgetown yesterday to begin their two years of service to the people of Guyana. The new trainees make up the 27th group of Peace Corps Volunteers to serve in Guyana, and they will soon begin their pre-service training. For the next twelve weeks of training, trainees will live with local host families who will teach them the Guyanese way of life as they learn how to cook local food, negotiate in the market place, and participate in community activities.
