WASHINGTON, CMC – The Peace Corps says it is phasing out of its programme in Suriname after an 18-year partnership. The agency office will officially close at the end of July this year.
“Since 1995, Peace Corps volunteers and staff in Suriname have worked closely with community partners and government institutions to make a difference and ensure project sustainability,” said Acting Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet.
“The Peace Corps is leaving a strong legacy that will live on long after the Suriname post closes.”
