The Peace Corp helps improve relations with other nations by creating critical person to person contacts which strengthen the relationships between nations. This fosters a culture of exchange, understanding and peace, rather than one of conflict, antagonism, and war and spreads the values of freedom, tolerance, respect, and diversity.
 
The Peace Corps are a tremendous initiative and I fully laud Sargent Shriver for having pushed it through. In reality though, the Peace Corps (BTW, "the Corps" generally refers to the Marine Corps...the opposite of the Peace Corps!) has had its fair share of issues exactly because they were affiliated with the government. During and since the Cold War, it was believed (and there has been evidence) that several volunteers were really CIA spies incognito. This was the reason that Indira Gandhi threw the Peace Corps out of India. Being affiliated with the Government has its own set of problems.
