Who We Are - A Video Gallery

We have gathered together a collection of videos that will give you a feeling for the experience that 1800 Peace Corps volunteers had in Korea between 1966 and 1981.  If you know of any other videos that might be appropriate to share, please email us.  Scroll down the page and enjoy!

A news report of about the Special Exhibition in the celebration  of the 50th anniversary of Peace Corps Korea, in September, 2016 in Seoul.
An interview with Ed Klein, a member of the first group of Peace Corps volunteers (K-1) to serve in Korea.

The slide show of photos is a compilation of Korean scenes taken in the mid-1970s when Sherrill Davis was a volunteer.  The musical accompaniment is wonderful - brings back lots of memories. 



This wonderful tribute was created by Joonhee Lee, who met many Peace Corps volunteers as a child.  His mother is Mrs. Park Shin Hae, who served on the staff of the Peace Corps.  The English version is to the left, and the Korean version is below.  Enjoy!



These two videos were created by Susan Gertz....they feature Tom Runyan, a health volunteer, who served on Cheju Island.
