A few months back, MSNBC producer (and Poland RPCV) Thomas Snowden approached NPCA about doing a story on the future of Peace Corps under the new administration. He interviewed NPCA President Kevin Quigley, MorePeaceCorps Campaign coordinator Rajeev Goyal, acting Peace Corps Director Jody Olsen, Sen. Harris Wofford and others. On the morning of the Inauguration he tagged along with the marchers to do some additional interviews. He got so much great material that he ended up producing not just one but three segments. You can now see them online at MSNBC (there is a short commercial segment beforehand):
March 26: Former Peace Corps volunteers express their hopes that President Barack Obama will keep his pledge to double the size of the agency within four years. NBC's Tom Snowden reports.
March 26: Peace Corps volunteer Rajeev Goyal speaks about how he represented America for most of the villagers he met while working as a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal from 2001 to 2003.
March 26: Sunaree Marshall speaks about having to learn to rely on herself and others while working as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Mongolia from 2005 to 2008.

Thank you to Tom for these great stories! They are a wonderful way to introduce people to Peace Corps and the returned Peace Corps community.
