As to the Piece Corps itself Birdie, do you think it was, and is worth the time, and money spent?
A childhood friend of mine joined the Bloods in Detroit when we were about 16, he dealt drugs and a host of other schit when they wanted him to start murdering he couldn't do it and the only way out of the Bloods gang is in a casket. My buddy got smart and joined the Peace Corps to get out of the country and escape the mayhem of the Bloods.
I haven't seen him since. The last time I saw him we were 18 and he was 6' 11" and built like a tree trunk.
He made some bad choices with the lure of easy money, hopefully they didn't get him.
I miss that guy he was awesome.
