Welcome to the Houston and Galveston Area RPCV group, The Gulf Coast Council of Returned Volunteers.  Our group started 25 years ago and is still going strong.

Our group is still "bringing the world back home."
Help a Texas volunteer currently serving in the Ukraine:

My name is Jeramie Heflin, I am from McAllen, Texas, but I am currently serving in the Peace Corps in Ukraine as a TEFL volunteer.

I am writing to you today to ask for your help. I am sure you are familiar with the Partnership Program that Peace Corps has; I have taken advantage of this during my service by writing a grant for my school to get new English textbooks. Attached is a letter with more information. If you could please consider sending this out to other RPCVs in your group or mentioning it at the next meeting I would be very appreciative.

Go to our On Line Store and donate via PayPal.  Donate to our group and we will match the donations to send to Ms. Heflin.

As of 2-6-2012, we have received $120, please donate now as we must send our donation soon!
