Rotarian Sandy Zabriskie's wife Margy introduced Abraham Awolich

HUGE thanks to Sandy and Margy in bringing Abraham Awolich to our meeting. This has to be hands down one of the most amazing people we have had grace us during lunch. Abraham came to Burlington as a refugee from Sudan in 2001 and took it upon himself to make the absolute most out of his situation. He moved through CCV, UVM and Syracuse finally obtaining his master in public admin. Not content with just making a comfortable life for only himself he traveled back to South Sudan (the newest country in the world) and has dedicated his life to ensuring that future generations of South Sudanese citizens can have a safe and prosperous life in their home country. It was an absolute pleasure to be in the presence of a man as talented and motivated as Abraham. I hope that we can come up with a way to support his efforts and maintain a close relationship with him. Truly a remarkable human and the embodiment of Rotary ideals.
