The 7,300 volunteers face lost stipends, housing and health benefits amid a pandemic and economic crisis.
U.S. Peace Corps volunteers celebrate in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 2017. The growing coronavirus pandemic has caused the first suspension of the agency's operation in its history.
Evacuation there began the week of March 16. Volunteers who had begun service in September 2018 were told they would be ending their service early. The volunteers who started last fall were told they would be placed on “administrative hold” for a month while the Peace Corps determined whether they could return. Thestaff gathered volunteers at a hotel in the capital, held a makeshift ceremony for the departing volunteers and chartered a plane out on March 18, volunteers said.
In Namibia, where Nichole Kulikowski had served as an education volunteer for nearly two years, the government shut schools and all other public activities down Joshua Michael Inton Campell is a returned Morocco volunteer now researching relationships between global development volunteers and their host country counterparts as part of his doctoral program at the University of Otago in New Zealand.
Casey Bouldin, an evacuated Morocco volunteer, is in Seattle, one of the earliest U.S. cities to see a spike in COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus strain. The city’s health care system is already overwhelmed; she doesn’t know where she’ll be able to receive primary health care or what would happen if she got sick.“It feels like we have to justify how much of a shock this is because everyone’s daily life has been uprooted. Everyone’s out of work. Everyone is working from home.
