I WANT to thank the GDN for printing the article on Rotary Peace Fellowships on March 9.
This is an important initiative from Rotary to contribute to peace in the world. We hope that Bahrain, its citizens and residents will benefit from it for many years and take part in its future offerings.
Starting in 2002, each year, the Rotary Foundation awards up to 130 fully funded fellowships (50 fellowships for Master’s degrees and 80 for certificate studies) at one of Rotary Peace Centres located at premier universities for dedicated leaders from around the world.
The fellowships cover tuition and fees, room and board, round-trip transportation, and all internship and field-study expenses.
Through academic training, practice, and global networking opportunities, the Rotary Peace Centres programme develops the capacity of peace and development professionals or practitioners to become experienced and effective catalysts for peace.
The Rotary Peace Centres have trained more than 1,400 fellows who now work in more than 115 countries. Many serve as leaders in governments, NGOs, the military, education, law enforcement, and international organisations like the United Nations and the World Bank.
