US Announces Peace Corps Program in Myanmar: "The United States has announced it will set up a Peace Corps program in Myanmar, also known as Burma.
It is the latest way in which the U.S. has expanded cooperation with the long-isolated Southeast Asian country.
A White House statement said there is no better way for the U.S. to demonstrate its commitment to Myanmar than through such "people-to-people connections at a grassroots level."
It says the first Peace Corps volunteers will arrive in Myanmar in late 2015 and will undergo three months of training before moving to their work sites for two years."
