The G.R.O. Foundation Lesotho and its’ international partners mourns the loss of Thomas Maresco, a Peace Corps volunteer who was serving as a teacher in Lesotho.  He was fatally shot on Friday, September 3 2010 in the capital, Maseru. All of us with G.R.O. wish to send our condolences to the family and friends of Thomas.
G.R.O. Foundation Lesotho has strong ties to the US Peace Corps; two of the co-founders of G.R.O. are returned Peace Corps volunteers who served in Lesotho.  Several U.S. Peace Corps volunteers have participated in G.R.O. Lesotho’s programming over the past five years, and this August, a Peace Corps volunteer joined G.R.O. on a two-year placement working with the G.R.O. Artisans Collective.
