Meet Kayla, an Education Volunteer in Kosovo. ?? ???? When Kayla ran through her village for exercise, she noticed girls in her community watching with curiosity—so she invited them to join her. What started as solo jogs soon turned into a sports group for girls focused on building confidence, teamwork, and focus through athletics. ???? Thanks for going the extra mile, Kayla! #PeaceCorps
