WORLD AFFAIRS SEMINAR
Secretary Elect Joy Mackenzie of Rotary Club of Providenciales will chaperone three students to attend the World Affairs Seminar in Wisconsin. The students of Turks and Caicos Institute for Professional Studies (TCIPS) Comprehensive High School are the winners of the National AIDs debate in Turks and Caicos Islands.
The Club has sponsored the group's travel and accommodation at the Carroll University in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The students return home on June 23 2012.
The World Affairs Seminar (WAS) is the vision of Rotarian Dr. Dale Brock, whose vision was to bring about better understanding of world problems among a select group of young people from around the globe. He imagined and built WAS to study current issues. In the course of this study, the WAS provides opportunities for participants to discuss issues with other young people from around the world.Emphasis is on promoting better understanding of the causes of international conflict with the idea that if the causes are understood, problems are more likely to be solved peacefully.
WAS is a initiative of Rotary District 6720.
