20 years after Peace Corps training in Thiès, Senegal, I was able to revisit the same spot with my two Senegalese-American daughters (and my wonderful Senegalese wife). Being able to share that day with my girls was a true gift. #PeaceCorpsWeek

It’s #PeaceCorpsWeek and we’re sharing photos through our six decades of service. Today, we’re focused on the 60s. In this photo, President John F. Kennedy and Sargent Shriver, right, address journalists and Peace Corps Volunteers at the White House in 1961. #RepYourDecade

So fortunate to have joined the wonderful team at @PeaceCorps - and to reiterate @PeaceCorpsDir sentiments - thank you to everyone in the federal community for their continued service #thirdgoal

[Peace Corps Director @PeaceCorpsDir]

Today we met virtually with the US government Returned @PeaceCorps Volunteer affiliate groups across the federal government to thank them for their continued commitment to service. They have been instrumental in the efforts to support and hire our recently evacuated Volunteers!
