When Peace Corps was first proposed, some in Congress assumed that only men would be volunteers.
The Peace Corps is guilty of enthusiasm and a crusading spirit. But we're not apologetic about it.
Peace Corps helps promote global acceptance of the principles of international peace and non-violent co-existence among people of diverse cultures and systems of government.
I don't have to run the Peace Corps. I could live without seeing my picture in the newspapers and without being interviewed.
We are in a time when the Peace Corps mission is more vital than ever, and the organization is at a 30-year high in the number of volunteers in the field. The Peace Corps is currently in 69 posts and serving 75 countries across the globe.
Americans also don't need to be taught how to give. We don't need to be taught how to take care of each other or how to be charitable.
For a long time, I really struggled with the idea of being an actor because I really felt that I should be in the Peace Corps.
And they said if we help with the crisis, they would do a lot of positive acts. After we helped in those crises, they showed negative acts and the Japanese and Turks were ashamed.
I feel that my drive and ambition is more American, while the passionate, laid-back side of me is all Brazilian.
