Yahoo Groups Websites

Here is a list of a few online communities and listserves, hosted at Yahoo Groups, that were created by Peace Corps volunteers worldwide. I have selected these sites because they bear a close resemblance to the Peace Corps Guyana online community that I created, but unsubscribed from. This list is not exhaustive and is limited to only Yahoo Groups.

My point is that my use of the Internet to communicate with current, returned, and prospective is neither unique nor limited to a few isolated cases. There are several hundred online communities at Yahoo Groups that were created by Peace Corps volunteers for the purpose of communicating with current, returned, and prospective volunteers.

Mauri (Hi), everyone! Thank you for joining my "Peace Corps in Kiribati" Yahoo Group! This will be a fun and convenient way to communicate about the Peace Corps program, the Republic of Kiribati, and my experience, in particular. I don't expect to have frequent internet access, so I will probably post messages to the group once a month, or once every other month (or have someone post my letters). However, please post as often as you wish. ) I hope to hear from everyone and am looking forward to ... more
