On March 1, 1961, President John F. Kennedy created the Peace Corps, built on the idea that peace is formed person to person.
Volunteers live and work alongside communities for two years in areas like education, health, agriculture, and community development. They learn the language, live at a similar level, and serve as neighbors.
Part of the mission is also to bring those experiences home, helping Americans better understand the world.
Serving shaped how I practice today.
Real service is not about fixing people.
It is about listening. Respect. Empowerment.
Walking with someone while they grow.
Grateful for the experience and the perspective it still gives me....and, super grateful for my loving husband who followed me to the other side of the world to make this part of my life come true 💖✨
