In 1963. the Peace Corps signed a five-year training contract with U.W.M. that resulted in its uniqueness among Peace Corps training centers. Today. U.W.M. is the only training site that prepares volunteers for projects in all three major aid areas —Asia, Africa, and Latin America. There are only three other permanent, five-year contract training centers in the whole Peace Corps program: Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and New Mexico. But all three do not have as broad a program for education as U.W.M. does. All of the volunteer candidates go through a very rigorous educational training program centered around their particular future projects. During the three continuous months of study, each project group concentrates on three main areas of study: 1.) the language of the host country, 2.) the customs, culture, and religious background of their project site overseas, and 3.) the basic technical knowledge needed to successfully carry out their project. Within the course of the week, over sixty hours of difficult work is accomplished by the volunteer candidates. By the end of this year U.W.M. will have put over eight hundred volunteers through its training programs, varying from motor vehicle maintenance in India, to agricultural aid in Kenya. In fact, by the very nature of the Peace Corps, U.W.M. has played an important role in influencing and helping countries in Asia. Africa, and Latin America to improve their methods of living, teaching, and thinking. 24 Dr. Janie Blackwell. Director of Training and Programs of the U.W.M. Peace Corps,
