Anna Singharath, the District 5650 Global Grant recipient for 2024-25, has been studying International Relations at the University of Bordeaux.
 
She has had a great time with the challenging coursework and an even better time participating with the Rotary Club of Bordeaux. They took her to visit a UNESCO site picture here and to a Rotary France event where Anna was introduced as one of the benefits of a Rotary Foundation program. 

Her academic program has a study abroad program to Taipei, Taiwan for a few weeks with Spring. She is really looking forward to that component, and she hopes to meet with a Rotary Club in Taiwan as well.
 
Anna has been representing Rotary and District 5650 well.

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.
