Anna Singharath (far left in photo), the 2024-25 Global Grants Scholar from Rotary District 5650, arrived to begin her studies at Sciences Po Bordeaux (University of Bordeaux, site of Pessac). 
 
Her studies are in line with the Rotary focus on peacebuilding and conflict prevention.
 
Ms. Singharath's future in the peacebuilding process starts from her background as a Laotian American and will continue as she enhances her French language ability while studying the integration of vulnerable populations into world communities.
 
She plans to work with other local nonprofits, providing services to those who have been affected by conflict, and creating a platform for cross-cultural exchanges.
