Here we have the Berry’s, that is my niece Claudette Banda and husband Ben Berry.

This day has two blogs, why? nothing special, the weather sucks, not good for taking the scooter out for a ride. But probably will, and will get all wet. This blog features the Berry’s, not because they are family, but because they are Peace Corp Volunteers. They are now more than half way done. Want to know more about the Peace Corp, Click Here. The Berry’s are posted in the Dominican Republic. As you might guess a majority of this cadre of USA volunteers are young professionals. Some stats:

1. 1)Age:        27 years old (average), 25 years old (median).

2. 2)Volunteers over age 50:         5% (oldest Volunteer is 84).

3. 3) Education:         95% have at least an undergraduate degree, 11% have graduate studies or degrees.

4. 4)Total number of Volunteers and trainees to date:         195,000

5. 5)Total number of countries served:         139

6. 6)Current number of Volunteers and Trainees:         7,876

7. 7)Gender:         60% female, 40% male
