Since that time, more than 190,000 Americans have served as Peace Corps Volunteers in 139 countries around the world. Peace Corps Volunteers have been teachers and mentors to children, helped farmers grow crops, worked with small businesses to market products, and improved maternal health and family nutrition. More recently, they have helped schools develop computer skills and educated entire communities about the threat of HIV/AIDS.
