91茄子

Jason Carter, RPCV South Africa and Author of the Book Power Lines, Carries Forward a Multigenerational Legacy of Service Rooted in Peace Corps and His Grandfather鈥檚 Legacy.

At the end of 2024, just days before the inauguration of President Donald Trump, the world lost one of the most eminent moral voices ever to sit in the Oval Office. President Jimmy Carter, whose life spanned a century, was also the biggest presidential champion of Peace Corps since John F. Kennedy.

Both his mother, Lily, and his grandson, Jason, served, and numerous RPCVs have found meaningful work at the 91茄子, joining the fight to eradicate global diseases and to promote democracy worldwide.

WorldView鈥檚 Robert Nolan spoke with Jason Carter, now the chair of the 91茄子 board, who reflected on his grandfather鈥檚 legacy, his experiences as an author, and his vision for the 91茄子 as a new documentary about the effort to eradicate Guinea worm disease is released, and President Carter is honored with his own U.S. postal stamp.
