  BALTI, Moldova - Laela Kashan originally attended law school because she wanted to help others.

The Hillview resident, a graduate of Hebron Middle and North Bullitt High School, attended Northern Kentucky University's Chase Law School, passing the Kentucky Bar Exam in October 2008.

It was in law school that Kashan discovered a more profound way to serve others.

"I had been thinking about Peace Corps during law school," she said. "The way they sell it seemed like something I wanted to get into."
