World Notes
EASTERN EUROPE
Send in the (Peace) Corps!
</hdr>
<body>
<p> After nearly three decades of Third World self-help projects
like digging wells in Ethiopia and advising on animal husbandry
in Guatemala, the 6,500-member Peace Corps will turn to a new
frontier this year: Eastern Europe. Starting in June, 120
volunteers will begin to leave for Hungary and Poland; an
additional 60 corps members may soon go to Czechoslovakia.
Peace Corps director Paul Coverdell says the first group will
teach English, while future plans call for volunteers to assist
in small-business development and environmental protection.
