Awardee Profiles from 2007

Document(s)

Radwan Baroud — Canada 2007-08-27
“I really want to serve the [West Bank and Gaza] because I used to work there and I understand the system exactly, the culture, and the people. E-health will be very helpful in supporting the healthcare system in the current circumstances of closure and isolation.”

Charity Mutonodzo — Zimbabwe 2007-08-17
“My desire to enact change comes through interacting with people, putting faces to statistics, especially since I worked [on food security] in very marginalized communities. I wanted to give those people the best I could.”

Shukria Dini — Canada 2007-08-17
“Women are involved in peacebuilding on a daily basis, especially within the Somali context. I think it’s crucial to examine their specific roles, particularly in building peace and rebuilding communities affected by conflict.”

Sarah Everts — Canada 2007-05-25
"When you travel, you hear the fascinating stories people have and the sorts of day-to-day issues people around the world face. Travelling made me want to communicate people’s stories, which is a fundamental part of journalism and part of why I wanted to become a journalist."

Shaaban Ali Mwachireya — Kenya 2007-04-24
"I do snorkeling and I dive when it’s necessary; sometimes you need to go deep and stay there awhile. The reefs are very beautiful. It’s like walking into a rainforest in the ocean."

Jude Fokwang - Cameroon 2007-04-24
"Who are 'youth'? In [Cameroon], because of high unemployment and other factors, many people are slow to ascend to social adulthood. They fail to find a job, defer marriage, continue to live with their parents. Their ‘youth’ is extended, so their participation as full citizens is postponed. This delay in taking up the responsibilities of citizenship can have profound social and political effects."
