“Peace Corps Volunteers have walked alongside communities across Liberia for more than six decades, building relationships rooted in respect, service, and mutual learning. This exhibit honors not only their dedication, but also the Liberian families, educators, and leaders who welcomed them with open arms and made their service meaningful.
It is a privilege to help preserve this story and celebrate the deep partnership between the Peace Corps and the people of Liberia.” — Vernice Guthrie, Country Director.
