PEACE CORPS SWORN-IN CEREMONY FEATURED IN NEWS HOUR

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ More than 90 new volunteers were sworn into service at the Peace Corps Mongolia Swearing-In Ceremony at the Ambassador Campbell's residence on August 16. The event included remarks as well as performances of Mongolian songs by the Peace Corps Volunteers, said the US Embassy in its website last week. The Peace Corps recruits, places and trains Americans of all ages and backgrounds to serve in 65 countries around the world. Volunteers work at the grassroots level toward sustainable change across six program areas: education, health, community economic development, environment, youth in development, and agriculture. The swear-in ceremony has been featured in the News Hour of Mongolian National Broadcaster (MNB) television network. MNB is the most watched national TV station, and its Evening News Hour is especially popular.
