As the maiden US - Africa Leadership summit with more than 50 African heads of state in attendance enters its last official day in Washington DC, Zuriel Oduwole was being celebrated by women's groups across the city at the high profile side events. After the busy First ladies summit in the center of Washington DC, she was formally received by the director of the US Peace Corp organization; Carrie Hessler - Radelet, back in her office [see attached images]

She mentioned how she has watched many of Zuriels international news interviews on video, and was very inspired by her work, her steps, and her accomplishments at such a young age, with very little budget. Zuriel shared the footprints of her journey, supported by Ethiopian Airlines across the continent. Director Radelet then indicated her readiness to partner with Zuriels inspirational projects on Girls Education, especially across the African continents, as the peace corps already has projects and volunteers across more than 24 African countries.

In honor of her warm reception, Director Radelet then signed one of Zuriels project footballs, as part of her #FollowTheBallForEducation project. It is the very last stop on the project - the USA. The footballs had traveled more than 24,000 miles to many countries across 3 continents, including the USA, Brazil, Ethiopia, South Africa, Mauritius and Nigeria to bring awareness to the issues of Girls education in Africa.

A documentary of the footballs journey is due at the end of 2014
