Hello friends. I'm writing with great news from Burundi Friends International (BFI). BFI Country Director, Odette Habonimana, has been nominated by the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) as a top ten finalist for their inaugural Women Building Peace Award. Odette was selected from 150 applicants covering 51 countries. The nomination helps put Odette, Burundi, and BFI, on the global stage. We are thrilled! USIP will announce the award winner on September 15, but we all know each woman is already a champion. This nomination is to be shared among everyone at the Newman Center at UCSD, where BFI started in 2007. Odette was nominated by Ashleigh Montgomery, past Social Justice Student Minister, and current BFI board member. Learn more.
