From the NPCA:

The National Peace Corps Association is seeking photos of returned Peace Corps volunteers for possible use in in our print and online communication materials.

We’re looking for great photos that capture the diversity and essence of the Peace Corps experience….that show volunteers “in action” both overseas and in their “life after Peace Corps” as they continue to serve by carrying out the Third Goal.

Email photos to me at news@rpcv.org. Please put “NPCA Photo” in the subject line and provide your name, permission to use, and explanatory information about the photo (when and where taken, etc.). High resolution photos taken at closer range work best.

Please let others in your Peace Corps networks know.

From the NPCA:

Do you know of a returned Peace Corps volunteer who continues to make a sustained and distinguished contribution to humanitarian causes at home or abroad? Someone who typifies the best qualities of the Peace Corps community?

If so, nominate him or her for the Sargent Shriver Award for Distinguished Humanitarian Service. The award was named to recognize the tremendous contributions of the first Peace Corps Director, Sargent Shriver, in the founding and development of the Peace Corps.

We welcome your nomination materials by June 2, 2008 to qualify for consideration.
