RDA-CENTER is working with the Peace Corps

In February, RDA-Center began collaborating with the Peace Corps and its Community and Organizational Development program. As a part of the program, Breyanna Knoll, a Peace Corps volunteer, has joined the agency’s staff.

Mrs. Knoll is from Evansville, Indiana, USA. She will work at the agency through August 2012 offering support and assistance to the community of Orhei.

The Peace Corps is an American volunteer program run by the United States government. The mission of the Peace Corps includes three goals: providing technical assistance, helping people outside the United States to understand U.S. culture, and helping Americans understand the cultures of other countries.

The COD program focuses on improving the capacity of organizations to provide community services and to sustain communities in the identification of their needs, resources, and interests in community development. Volunteers from the COD program work with social organizations, providing assistance in organizational capacity development and in implementation of various community projects.
