SERENDIPITY IN SIERRA LEONE

Two Hood alums, both with Peace Corps experience and a generation apart, met and united to build schools and better communities in West Africa. Cindy Nofziger ’79 has been working with documentary filmmakers who are telling a story about a courageous teacher who saved two infants during Sierra Leone’s civil war. In the process of helping to tell her story, Cindy connected with Peace Corps volunteer Jillian M. Jones ’12 who is working in Kabala—one of the main towns in Northern Sierra Leone—and has provided great logistical support for the project. #hoodproud

@schoolsforsalone What a treat to spend 4 nights with Jillian in her village. Turns out we both went to Hood College. #peacecorpsvillage #besthostessever #offthegrid

@schoolsforsalone Little Michael wasn’t feeling well, but together we made sure this smart little boy got the medicine he needed. #wherethereisnodoctor #peacecorps #workingtogether
