Excerpt from PC Kyrgyz Republic FB Posted on 21.8.17

On Saturday, 19 August 2017, the United States Peace Corps in the Kyrgyz republic hosted the meeting with host families.

45 interns represent American diversity between the ages of 21 and 48, and from across America, from Alaska to Hawaii and Massachusetts.

 This Host Family Matching Ceremony begins the eleven (11) weeks of intensive Kyrgyz language and cultural training before being assigned to their respective universities and secondary schools across the Kyrgyz Republic. Volunteers will meet their families from villages of Issyk Ata and Sokuluk Rayons. Living with these host families and adapting to Kyrgyz culture is the most important aspect of training to be a successful volunteer.

Residents of the villages of Issyk-Ata and Sokuluk districts, where the trainees of the Peace Corps will be temporarily living for the next three months prepared a program with traditional songs and dances for the ceremony of meeting the interns of the Peace Corps with host families.
