4. Rebecca Buse – USA

Rebecca intends to use the Rotary Peace Fellowship to increase her knowledge and skills in the peace and development field. As a fellow, she will research how the natural environment can enhance peacebuilding and create spaces for healing. She expects personal growth, knowledge gain, and professional guidance for her steps after the fellowship.

Her short-term career goal is to continue working as an environmental educator abroad in local communities. Her long-term goal is to create an environmental peace center—a space for communities to thrive, heal, and care for the earth. After the fellowship, Rebecca is open to working anywhere in the world to achieve these goals.
