FRIENDS OF MALAYSIA (FoM) - The Association of Malaysia Returned Peace Corps Volunteers
Tom Wagner (front right), Malaysia IX, joins with other RPCVs in Ann Arbor for the 65th anniversary of the JFK speech that introduced the idea of Peace Corps. In an impromptu speech to the 10,000 students at 2 am on October 14, 1960, on the steps of the University of Michigan Union, the future president issued a challenge to the enthusiastic crowd: How many of them, he asked, would be willing to serve their country and the cause of peace by living and working in Africa, Asia or Latin America? The response, both then and in the years that followed, was deafening.

How to Engage with Friends of Malaysia
Friends of Malaysia, an affiliate organization of the National Peace Corps Association (NPCA), welcomes all RPCVs to continue their life of service at home and to share their Peace Corps experiences so that future generations will be inspired to find meaning in helping others. As a 501(c3) nonprofit, Friends of Malaysia is an all-volunteer organization with zero expenses. All contributions to Friends of Malaysia are used to make small grants to Malaysian NGOs that serve the public good, primarily to peoples and places left behind. Read about the most recent FoM grant to the Engkari Community Wildlife Project. On the About FoM page of the website, you can make a contribution to FoM, nominate a Malaysian NGO for a small grant, and learn how FoM won the NPCA Loret Miller Ruppe Award for Outstanding Committe Service three times!
