Welcome to our Peace Corp Program

---

The Peace Corp mission which traces its roots to as far as the 1960s, was founded as a result of a challenged posed by the then Senator John F. Kennedy (who later became the 35th President of the United States of America) to the student body at the University of Michigan. Back then, according to the Peace Corps online, he challenged the students to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in the developing countries. A challenge many of them took upfront. We all remember J F. kennedy for his contribution to world peace and justice, and also his famous quote during his Inaugural address:

 

"My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what can you do for your country."

This was the birth of a mission from which our school today can proudly honour for their ernomous contribution to our success. Since 1989, PHS Batibo has invited and been the host to more than 10 Peace Corps, whose services have added so much value to our Educational sytem. As years go by, PHS Batibo does not only benefit from the good will and talents of these exceptional individuals, but has also, and continue to exploit the rich and loving culture they all come along with.

Until now, our Peace Corps have mostly been well qualified experts in the Science subjects such as Mahematics, Physics and Chemistry etc, and we are looking forward to inviting many more.

Peace Corps House

The Peace Corps House is just one of the few Houses on campus with this original 19th century architectural outside look. It is located close to the center the campus and about 50m from the Administrative and school blocks.

It's position makes it one of the best points to stand and enjoy the beauty of the Campus, and stratergic enough to facilitate and easy movement to and from the Administrative and school blocks. The inside is of high standard, and equiped with modern funiture and appliances to suit the taste of any of our visiting Peace Corps
