Peace Corps Director Visits Stanley Students

Peace Corps Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet met with students June 5 at Stanley Middle School to thank them for their support of Let Girls Learn and girls' education around the world. Students in the school's Global Relief Outreach club recently donated $1,500 to the Let Girls Learn initiative that they raised by selling popsicles and hot chocolate during their lunchtime. The middle school students submitted a letter to the Peace Corps along with their donation, which will support Peace Corps volunteer projects that help to expand access to girls' education worldwide. In the letter, the GRO club writes, "We fundraise throughout the year in order to donate to charities like yours."

Launched in March, the Let Girls Learn collaboration between the Peace Corps and First Lady Michelle Obama brings increased focus, resources, and impact to the critical issue of girls' education, as more than 62 million girls around the world are not in school.
