In this event, PCVs, counterparts and supervisors in Region VIII will participate in the annual Tacloban fiesta parade, held on June 29th, to increase visibility and awareness of Peace Corps’ historical work in the region and to have a Peace Corps presence in this local cultural celebration. In addition to having a float in the parade that will clearly promote Peace Corps and the 50th anniversary, there will be a reception for participants and community partners following the parade to commemorate this milestone through networking and celebrating accomplishments.
