Sustainable Farming Skills Needed Around the World
Have you ever wondered how you can reduce hunger around the world? There is one way – plant gardens, or better yet, teach others how to plant gardens.
Did you know that your sustainable farming skills and knowledge are needed in developing nations to help tackle global climate change and world hunger?
Now is the time to consider applying to the U.S. Peace Corps. Since 1961, Peace Corps Volunteers have helped communities address food shortages and poor nutrition by building school gardens, developing community gardens, hosting nutrition workshops and more. There is currently a pressing need for volunteers who have practical knowledge in sustainable market gardening techniques. So, if you are looking for a way to make an impact on world hunger and give something back to our global society, think about joining the thousands of Americans who are serving abroad with the Peace Corps.
For more information contact Frank Higdon (fhigdon atsymbol peacecorps dot gov) and to fill out an online application, please visit www.peacecorps.gov. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years old, but there is no upper age limit!
Take care,
