Jeffrey Locke recently joined PAI as a Legislative Policy Associate, where he will help educate policymakers and their staff about the importance of international family planning and reproductive health programs.  In this blog, he talks about why, after two years in Togo, he decided to come to Washington to work on family planning issues.  

After over two years as a community health volunteer for the Peace Corps in Togo, I don’t have a canned, thirty-second response answer to why I wanted to work on issues of international family planning.  I do, however, have a story.
