The Springfield Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV) group enjoyed a meal at Rama Thai on January 25th.  As former United States Peace Corps Volunteers, members served a minimum of two years countries from all world regions performing duties such as teaching English, working in the health sector, assisting small business enterprises, and providing agricultural assistance.  The organization holds monthly social gatherings at various restaurants and engages in local volunteer projects, such as Habitat for Humanity and the Ozarks Food Harvest.

For more information about the group, interested parties can contact the group organizer, Dr. Ashley Leinweber, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Missouri State University at aleinweber@missouristate.edu.
