The Rotary Peace Centers program provided Alejandra Rueda Zarate, of Bogota, Colombia, with skills that she's now using to help poor villagers in her nation's countryside.
"Thanks to the program, I complemented my years of work experience with international knowledge and learning, allowing me to start my own initiative on rural development and poverty alleviation," says Zarate, a 2010 graduate of the Rotary Peace Center at the University of California, Berkeley, who had worked in the agricultural industry before her fellowship. "The strategic platform brings capacity building to peasants in the countryside, and has had significant results for conflict alleviation in Colombia."
