Langhorne resident Tresier Mihalik was sworn-in on March 6 as a Peace Corps volunteer in Sri Lanka.
She is one of 20 volunteers who will spend the next two years in Sri Lanka as the first group to serve in the country since 1998.
Peace Corps Director Carol Spahn traveled Sri Lanka to officiate the historic swearing-in ceremony, engage in high-level meetings aimed at strengthening partnerships and expanding collaboration, and met with Sri Lanka President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
The volunteer cohort arrived in Sri Lanka in December 2023 to complete a comprehensive cross-cultural, language, and technical training program to prepare them in understanding the country’s education system. The volunteers will co-teach with and support their Sri Lankan counterparts in Tamil and Sinhala schools across the country for two years.
