Selling…soft power

A new contingent of Peace Corps volunteers has arrived in Guyana, marking the latest group to serve in the country since 1966. The volunteers are reportedly enthusiastic and eager to contribute to the community. They come bearing educational materials, sports equipment, and other supplies, rather than military hardware.

The Peace Corps has been active in Guyana for over five decades, with their volunteers focusing on education and community development.
