No thanks.
Good intentions and good deeds but nauseating "progressive" world view.
“...Good intentions and good deeds but nauseating “progressive” world view...”
The Peace Corps has continued since Kennedy’s Camelot and has produced a largely negative overall result. We send college educated volunteers (well paid when they convert their humble salaries to local currency and they have dollars going into an account back home) who roll up their sleeves and do hands-on work. So we send labor to countries that have labor surpluses.
They do not keep the peace and when war comes, as in El Salvador in 1980, the Peace Corps gets out of the way. Look at the history of Honduras as taught on campuses. Standard Fruit is depicted at an exploiter of the people even though it brought jobs and income. The Peace Corps is depicted at a positive force even though it brought fat girls who eat at nice steak restaurants in cities like Danli and who insult locals by high-minded nebulas projects to help those who actually work.
