My name is Cynthia Salim and I am humbled and honored to be a Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholar.
Sponsored by Rotary International, this scholarship will allow me to develop a humanitarian career by pursuing an MPhil in Human Values and Contemporary Global Ethics in the United Kingdom or Ireland in 2009-2010!
In the coming years, I will serve as an Ambassador of Goodwill for Westchester Rotary and District 5280 by furthering Rotary International's mission of "Service Above Self" and speaking on the good work of Rotary Foundation.
"The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty."
The purpose of the Ambassadorial Scholarship is to further international understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries and geographical areas. And here we are folks, the 2009-2010 Ambassadorial Scholars for District 5280:
Lindsey Fyfe (LA 5 Rotary), Cynthia Salim (Westchester Rotary), and Jamie Feld (Westwood Rotary)! There are some phenomenal people who have made my Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar experience a blast. A big thank you to the Rotarians who have adopted me as their scholar and gone on plenty of adventures with me:
Dr. Joe Callinan, my sponsor and chaperone to the fifty million events I insist on attending;
Dr. Fred Kiesner/Grampa Fred, my other sponsor who responds to my emails in 28 point font at all hours of the night;
Mason Shayan, Westchester Rotary President for his hospitality and support;
and many, many more who have welcomed me, Lindsey, and Jamie with open arms into the Rotary family.
And of course, this program wouldn't be possible without the generous donations made by Rotarians to the Rotary Foundation. Thank you! It means the world to us.
Well team, check back for updates. It's going to be a fun year. Email me at CynthiaSalim@gmail.com if you have questions, or would like to have me at your Rotary meeting or event! I love visiting!
In service and solidarity,
Cynthia Salim
