Our very own Kiki is going to Kyrgyzstan. Kristen “Kiki” Fornito is headed to the central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan to spend 27 months with the Peace Corps.
At age 21, and with a grasp on life’s importance for someone far beyond those years, Kiki has her eyes set on a mission to help others.
“On March 28 I’m getting on a plane and flying to Kyrgyzstan with the Peace Corps. I think the Peace Crops is one of the most helpful organizations,” Fornito said. “And it’s a test for myself, too, because it’s a 27-month commitment. I’m there for a long time. I’ll get to impact the community and I’ll be fluent in another language.”
The former Fayette County High School graduate completed her studies at the University of Georgia in December with a B.A. in International Affairs. Today she is studying Russian in preparation for her departure to Kyrgyzstan, also known as the Kyrgyz Republic.
Keep Kiki in your prayers!
