Peace Corps Volunteers are just planting seeds. We usually don’t get to see the beautiful things that blossom from the time we dedicate to our communities. But if we’re lucky, we get a glimpse of the buds.

This snapshot captures a moment that made a lasting impression - a moment of warmth and community that encapsulates the culture PCVs in Thailand are lucky to experience every day.

In this new series, volunteers share the moments from their service that they want to remember, no matter how routine or small it seems. Lilly Hromadka starts us off with the morning of the first day of school!
