TABU Effect

Congratulations to Azza Cohen who, having been studying at Princeton University, has been awarded the US George J. Mitchell Scholarship. This is another success in the path she has forged since she was on the TABU (Towards a Better Understanding) Programme jointly conducted by the Rotary Clubs of Belfast and Highland Park/Highwood in Chicago when, at Highland Park High School, she was chosen by that Club as part of the 2009 group travelling to Belfast to explore peace and reconciliation with fellow youth abroad.

She is very grateful for that first chance and she'll now be spending a year at National University in Galway, Ireland to study culture and colonization and we look forward to welcoming her back on a visit. Picture shows her at her last visit to the Club in 2011.
