District Succeeds in Peace Scholar Bid, Again
We are delighted to report that an applicant from our District -- from Boothwyn in Delaware County – has been selected to become a Rotary Peace Fellow with the 2025 entering class. She will study at the Rotary Peace Center affiliated with Uppsala University in Sweden, with full funding to earn a Masters’ degree in two years.
Carly Aquino attended Villa Maria High School in Malvern and George Washington University in D.C. She majored in International Affairs and Conflict Resolution and also studied abroad in Rwanda. She subsequently joined the Peace Corps, for which she served in the country of Benin in West Africa. Her time there was dramatically cut short by the evacuation of Peace Corps personnel everywhere due to the COVID pandemic.
Unexpectedly, back in Philadelphia territory, she worked for a refugee resettlement non-profit to help families, at that time primarily from Afghanistan, find shelter and resources.
