The majority of the Peace Corps Colombia will focus on teaching English as a foreign language, an asset in demand for many rural parts of the country. The first volunteers who will be arriving later this year will no doubt, be inspired by Colombia's natural beauty as well as the wonderful people which have both contributed to my desire to live and work there.
