    THE FRIENDS OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
    HISTORY COMMITTEE THANKS YOU!

    Several months ago, we posted a request on this page asking for information from our members and readers for information about their Peace Corps work in the Dominican Republic during the 1970’s and 1980’s due to a lack of historical information for those years in our records. In response to that request, we received additional information from members of FDR and other readers who served during those years and others, and we want to say “Thank You” to those of you who responded by sending us pictures, stories, and articles about your service.

    The information we received was added to the information the History Committee has collected since 2012 and we recently submitted five boxes of historical information regarding the history of Peace Corps in the DR from 1962 through 2025 to the FDR Section of the Peace Corps Community Archives at American University in Washington, DC. Finally, I want to add that the FDR History Committee will continue collecting material about Peace Corps’ work in the DR, and if you want to contribute to our collection, please contact us at president@fotdr.org and we can send you information about how to contribute. Again, thank you for your support!
