Peace Corps Sierra Leone celebrated Peace Corps Week by embarking on a nationwide tree-planting initiative.
Staff and volunteers joined forces with students and community members, venturing across the country to plant trees. This collaborative effort symbolizes hope and optimism for the future of Sierra Leone and its communities.
Planting trees represents new possibilities for sustainable growth and serves as a tangible example of collective action towards a greener future.
Established in 1960, the Peace Corps was envisioned by then-Senator John F. Kennedy. Its mission focuses on fostering international understanding through volunteers serving in developing countries.
Over 200,000 volunteers have served in 139 countries, addressing various challenges like education, healthcare, and environmental preservation. Peace Corps volunteers continue to empower individuals and communities in building a brighter future.
Beyond the tree-planting initiative, Peace Corps volunteers in Sierra Leone actively participate in various projects throughout the country.
They contribute by teaching in rural schools, promoting health awareness, and offering valuable skills and knowledge. Their core objective aligns with national needs: providing trained personnel while fostering cultural exchange and mutual understanding between the U.S. and Sierra Leone.
