We are proud to announce that the documentary A Towering Task: The Story of the Peace Corps has won a regional Emmy for best historical documentary. Directed by RPCV Alana DeJoseph (Mali 1992—94), A Towering Task chronicles the story of the Peace Corps and how its legacy continues to shape the idea of global citizenship. Since its premiere in 2019 at the Kennedy Center, the film has been broadcast at universities, museums, conferences, reunions, and libraries, as well as on PBS stations throughout the U.S.: https://lnkd.in/gUy4eYUx

    In Zambia, several farmers expressed interest in fish farming after learning about Peace Corps' Rural Aquaculture project. Peace Corps Volunteer Rileigh and her counterpart supported the local farmers to make that happen. Collaborating with 18 farmers, Rileigh and her counterpart provided insights in selecting a site, pond staking, and even applied for a successful Peace Corps grant. This opened up opportunities for the farmers to stock their ponds with fingerling and fish food, purchase essential equipment, and receive technical training on sustainable practices. Their story shows how important fish farming is to Zambian communities for economic opportunity, food security, and the resilience of families. Rural aquaculture positions in the Zambia and other openings have a July 1 application deadline. Apply now: https://bit.ly/2Et46LR #PeaceCorps #PeaceCorpsZambia
