Chicagopeacemarch02 PCOL serves half million
Our readership for April, 2007 has increased to 525,000 visitors - over seventeen thousand every day and a 50% increase over a year ago. This past year has also seen the advent of our new web site:  Peace Corps News which added to  The Peace Corps Library web site and  The History of the Peace Corps web site brings us to four web sites serving the returned Peace Corps Volunteer community.

Last year we reported that 350,000 Friends of the Peace Corps visited this web site during March, 2006. One year later our readership for April, 2007 has increased another 175,000 to 525,000 visitors - over seventeen thousand every day and a 50% increase over a year ago.

Thanks again, everybody for making PCOL your source of information for the Peace Corps community.

"They dig wells and build houses. Teach children and their parents how to read. They're America's Peace Corps Volunteers. 170,000 strong since 1961 when a young president challenged a new generation to become global citizens, to help make the world a better place. The responsibility for peace, he said, is the responsibility of our entire society. The Peace Corps: a president's idea, a generation's commitment. Democracy did it." Read more.
