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

Kamaka Dias was interviewed and selected to serve in Madagascar, and over the course of 3 years working on a variety of projects there, he came to think of Madagascar as his "second home." Read Kamaka's story here: peacecorps.gov/stories/big-i… #AAPI

Seems like a good time to take a picture of every single flower that you can
Are you an RPCV Senegal and interested in social impact of Peace Corps Volunteers on host communities and families in Senegal? You can contribute to the research by participating in an online survey via bit.ly/pcv2020. This should take less than 10 minutes!
We're looking forward to your questions for Lauren as she takes over @USNatArchives at 1 pm ET today! Use #ArchivesChat to ask Lauren all your archives questions, from her day-to-day- work to her background in public history!
