As a returned Peace Corps volunteer (Ethiopia, ’64-’66), Lee combines a passion for international development with outstanding program management, as she responds to 200 letters each month from communities around the world requesting free books. Lee has also actively helped us reach out to community organizations and individuals to tell them about Hesperian’s work, and has joined our Board.

Sarah has led Hesperian’s work for 11 of the organization’s busiest years. Previously, she spent 15 years in Central America, training health workers and administering health programs in refugee camps in Honduras, and founding an NGO to teach administration techniques to low-literacy people participating in cooperatives, small enterprise development, and other social projects.
