Peace Corps Panama

Follow to learn more about our Peace Corps Volunteers, our projects, and the beautiful culture of Panama.

The Peace Corps traces its roots and mission to 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. From that inspiration grew an agency of the federal government devoted to world peace and friendship. Since that time, more than 225,000 Americans of all ages have responded to Kennedy’s call to serve and have helped communities in 141 countries to work on issues ranging from AIDS education to information technology and environmental preservation. Today's Peace Corps is more vital than ever, working in emerging and essential areas such as information technology and business development, and contributing to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. Peace Corps Volunteers continue to help countless individuals who want to build a better life for themselves, their children, and their communities. Comment Policy:

“Barriga llena, corazón contento” doesn't just mean “full belly, happy heart” in Panama, it’s a way of life. Meals are shared, bowls are generous, and most of it comes from the traditional fogón, or eco-stove.

Environment Volunteer Maddy built eco‑stoves with her community, and pictured here, her host mom, that use less wood, burn hotter, and release less smoke. Healthier kitchens, happier hearts, and plenty of good food to share. 😋🍴

“Barriga llena, corazón contento” no solo significa “full belly, happy heart” en Panamá, es una forma de vida. Las comidas se comparten, las porciones son generosas y la mayoría proviene del fogón tradicional o eco‑estufa.

Maddy, voluntaria de Medio Ambiente, construyó eco‑estufas junto a su comunidad, y aquí aparece su mamá anfitriona, usando una de ellas. Estas estufas usan menos leña, alcanzan más calor y liberan menos humo. Cocinas más saludables, corazones más felices y mucha buena comida para compartir. 😋🍴

Service isn’t just for our Volunteers. 🌱 This past Friday, Peace Corps Panama staff got their hands dirty at Parque Municipal Summit — cleaning, organizing, and potting plants for the park’s greenhouse. Dirty hands, full hearts, and worth every moment! 🌱💚

El servicio no es solo para nuestros Voluntarios. 🌱 El viernes pasado, el personal del Cuerpo de Paz Panamá se ensució las manos en el Parque Municipal Summit — limpiando, organizando y sembrando plantas en macetas para el vivero del parque. ¡Manos sucias, corazones llenos, y valió la pena cada momento! 🌱💚 ¡Gracias a Jardín Botánico Summit por recibirnos!
