Doctors volunteer on Youth Day

On that day many lost their lives, but the fruits of their martyrdom are a country where one’s home language is respected. Another group of people who directly or indirectly benefited from their sacrifices is some 100 South African medical and engineering graduates who studied in Cuba, a socialist state in the Caribbean. The group goes by the name Ex-Cuban Graduates Association.

The Obvious Child: Why Deny the Obvious Child?

When I left my familiar South Carolina ground and stepped onto my flight headed to Cape Town last summer, I had many ideas of what this Ambassadorial scholarship year would mean to me, what I would learn, and what I would take away from this truly once in a lifetime experience. I can say that this past year far exceeded any and every expectation. I arrived in Cape Town, South Africa on July 21, 2010 with much anticipation and excitement after having received the Rotary International Ambassadorial Scholarship. I knew this would allow me the chance to do something completely different and challenging, and I arrived eager to use the next year as an opportunity to grow in knowledge and in my world experiences. The Rotary scholarship allowed me to choose where I would study and engage in humanitarian work. Having recently graduated from the College of Charleston with a Master’s degree in Elementary Education (May 2010), with a plan of pursuing a doctorate in Educational Leadership, I decided to use this year to work in a developing nation. I chose to study at the University of Cape Town because I saw their course offerings as a complement to my existing education, and despite the mass poverty and lack of educational underpinnings for so many of the citizens, the University is ranked by QS World University Rankings 2010 in the top 200 universities in the world. Working and studying in a developing nation where so many South Africans face educational and political issues on a large scale gave me a broader perspective of life challenges that would not have been financially possible without the scholarship. The Ambassadorial Scholarship is Rotary International’s best known program worldwide. Its goal is to develop leaders who can address the humanitarian needs of the global community and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by increasing awareness of and respect for cultural differences. The scholarship funds students to study abroad and promotes international understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries and geographical areas. During the scholarship period, I gave presentations to Rotary clubs, civic organizations, schools, and other forums about my experiences and volunteer work in South Africa. And now that I am back in the United States, I will also give presentations about my experiences that will lead to a greater understanding of South Africa.
