Beneficiary communities of the United States Peace Corps' global volunteerism in the Volta and Oti regions have lauded the US government for its continued support for especially rural communities in Ghana through the programme.
The commendation came on the occasion of the Peace Corps' Diamond Jubilee.
Ghana became the first country in the world to receive Peace Corps Volunteers in 1961 and the programme has for over 50 years of uninterrupted collaboration made significant impact in communities in all regions of the country.
Most of the young individuals posted to various communities in the regions have left an indelible mark in a gamut of areas of development, including education, health, community economic development, agriculture, the environment and youth development.
