Hello!

Since I was awarded the Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship in June of 2004, a lot of planning and anxious anticipation have been involved in my preparation to leave for Buenos Aires on March 4, 2006. And now that departure is rapidly approaching, I want to introduce this webpage so you can keep updated with my experiences in Argentina during my year as an Ambassadorial Scholar.

For those of you who are not familiar with the Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship Program, I'd like to give you a brief history. It started as a vision of Rotary's founder, Paul Harris. He dreamed of a program that sponsored graduate students to study in foreign nations, acting as ambassadors between their home and host countries, promoting international understanding and friendly relations. His vision became a reality, and the Ambassadorial Scholarship Program is currently the largest privately funded scholarship program in the world. Since 1947, approximately 37,000 men and women have studied in more than 70 different countries as Rotary Ambassadorial scholars.

I am elated to honored to be part of this presigious scholarship program, as well as part of Rotary.

For the next 12 months I will be pursuing a Masters degree in International Economic Policy at the University of Belgrano in Buenos Aires. Please add this page to your "Favorites" and keep updated with my experience with Rotary in the Southern Hemisphere.
