Saipan? Truk? Palau?
Would you believe two years in the South Seas working in education, health or public works? There are problems in paradise, and the Peace Corps has been asked to help solve them.
This is a brand new program.
On May 1, 1966, the Peace Corps was invited into the Pacific Trust Territory which the U.S. manages for the United Nations. Needed immediately are liberal arts and science students who aren't afraid to work hard.
