Friends of Malaysia (FoM) has been collecting donations for the planned Peace Corps Park in DC near Capitol Hill. The Park will honor the service of all those who have served in the Peace Corps and remind the public that the Peace Corps still exists and is looking to future generations for volunteers to serve humanity around the globe.

 As of November 11, 2025, $26,390 has been donated by 51 FoM members You are so generous! The Peace Corps Foundation (also known as the Peace Corps Commemorative Foundation) states that $6.4 million of the needed $12 million goal has been raised from 1,655 donors. (www.peacecorpscommemorative.org).

For those who have not yet gotten around to donating or would like to make an additional donation, there is still time. No donation is too small. Participation is so important to show the interest of the RPCV community and hopefully some very wealthy donors will help us get to our goal. The easiest way to donate is to use the Peace Corps Foundation-Friends of Malaysia online button with your credit card. Or alternatively, you can write a check and mail it the Peace Corps Foundation (details here); be sure to write "Credit to Friends of Malaysia" on the memo line. All donations will be recognized on the FoM Digital Wall of Honor (click on the link below) and also on the Peace Corps Park website
