"I have found the experience of volunteering with the Bo M. Karlsson Foundation to ground me in positive change, amidst the frequent news of violence in the world. And, I have found new ways to use my creative talents to make a difference."

Digital Storytelling
Gazelle Samizay, our wonderful two-term board member and volunteer, received a Princess Grace Professional Development Grant in October which provides funding to art professionals to develop capacity and knowledge in artistic development and arts management. Gazelle chose to attend a Digital Storytelling Educator's Workshop on January 5th at the Center for Digital Storytelling in Berkeley, California. Watch the short film she created during the workshop, entitled 'I used to draw rainbows.'
In addition, Gazelle applied for a Fulbright-National Geographic Digital Storytelling Fellowship which would allow her to travel to Nepal next fall to hold a digital storytelling workshop with our scholarship recipients. It is our hope that we can help each of our graduates share their unique and inspiring stories. Stay tuned to see if Gazelle is chosen, finalists will be notified in June!
