Environmentalist wins Award for Work in Paraguay

Karina Atkinson started Para La Tierra as an environmental organization in Paraguay.  Now she has won the 2012 Young Laureates of the Rolex Award for Enterprise.  Para La Tierra would be an awesome place for a Kansan to engage in a service learning study abroad volunteer assignment and apply for the Kansas Paraguay Study Abroad Scholarship.  Here is the link to the organizations website.

Scholarship for Studying in Paraguay

This is just a reminder that Kansas Paraguay Partners offers a $1,200 scholarship for Kansas students to study in Paraguay.  The description and application are on the Scholarship page.  Just click the tab above.  Since there is no formal study abroad program in Paraguay you will need to chart your own course but there is lots of help available from Kansas Paraguay Partners.  Just get in touch with me – John Poertner
