Three goals of Peace Corps

Luke & I have wanted to blog the three goals of PC for awhile but keep forgetting so I'm finally getting to it.

1. To help the people of interested countries in meeting their needs for trained men and women.
2. To help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.
3. To help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of all Americans.

Since 1961, more than 178,000 Americans have served in the Peace Corps in 138 countries.

These goals sound very good! I bet it would be very interesting to hear the opinions/generalizations about Americans from a third world country. Generally what are the options of Hondurians on Americans?
