Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, January 15, was a “day on” rather than a day off for DC Habitat for Humanity volunteers including Peace Corps Director Ron Tschetter and Deputy Director Jody K. Olsen. |

To commemorate the life of service of Martin Luther King, Jr., Director Tschetter and Deputy Director Olsen joined Peace Corps volunteers and DC Habitat Board Members for the day at D.C. Habitat for Humanity’s largest project yet – a 53-home community at 54th and Clay Streets, NE. "We are very fortunate here in America, and it's important that we share that good fortune," said Tschetter, who believes the MLK holiday is a good opportunity to give back to the community. |

The Peace Corps is celebrating a 45-year legacy of service at home and abroad. Since 1961, more than 187,000 Volunteers have helped promote a better understanding between Americans and the people of the 139 countries where Volunteers have served. Peace Corps Volunteers must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years of age. Peace Corps service is a 27-month commitment. |
