Another piece of great news, some of Opika's volunteers were selected to represent Peace Corps, not only from Ukraine but from around the world, at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival from June 30-July 11.
The ten performers will help Peace Corps celebrate its 50th Anniversary, by showcasing some of the work that Peace Corps Volunteers do around the world. Opika's director, Iryna Sydakova is designing a performance to highlight the best of Ukrainian culture, the uniqueness of the Peace Corps Volunteer experience, and the way in which local communities work together with a volunteer to insure a successful relationship.
