2008 Peace Prize Award Reception

2008PeaceCorpsPrize_small02

The 2008 Peace Prize was awarded to Nourish International. NI believes that many communities constrained by the cycle of poverty are highly entrepreneuria, dedicated, and determined, but lack the resources and opportunity to improve their conditions. NI harnesses the power of socially driven students to deliver funding, resources, and talent that helps those trapped in poverty to create a real change in the their lives. They support long term sustainable projects for impoverished communities.  The award was given by Peace Corps Deputy Director, Dr. Jody Olsen. Accepting for Nourish International was founder Sindhura Citineni.
