Peace Corps volunteers are sent to a foreign country to work with the
local residents in a capacity in which there is a shortage/absence
of local residents. Generally the volunteer assumes an instructional
role, rather than a working role, so that they can teach the local
residents their skill. Also, some volunteers are hired as primary/secondary
teachers. 

While the Peace Corps is NOT a "tourism" program, there are those who 
feel that it is merely another tentacle of our imperialist government.
