#3 - Glenn Blumhorst

Glenn Blumhorst is a global citizen who has lived, worked, and travelled in more than 70 countries. Starting as a Peace Corps volunteer in a tiny Guatemalan village, he would grow into a local legend: "Don Glenn de las Luces" -- literally, 'Sir Glenn of the Lights." It also sums up his lifetime pursuit of serving others.

Glenn is a distinguished Peace Corps leader and social entrepreneur, currently spearheading the Peace Corps Commemorative Foundation's campaign to establish a national landmark and global education resource called Peace Corps Park; you can learn more here.
