Free Publications by Peace Corps Volunteers and their Counterparts

In 2012, the United States Peace Corps concluded its work in Turkmenistan after two fruitful decades. In the course of their time here, Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) reached all corners of the country, taking on a wide range of projects and building some of the strongest links in the U.S.-Turkmenistan relationship.

Among all the endeavors taken on by American volunteers with their Turkmen counterparts, the creation of educational and cultural materials is one of the most significant. In appreciation of its time in Turkmenistan and all that it accomplished with the help of the Turkmen people, the Peace Corps is generously making these materials available for the public.
