UWC Annual Review and Nobel Prize Nomination

By Mauricio Viales | Head of College

Querida Comunidad,

I am so excited to share some significant updates regarding UWC and UWC Costa Rica.  It is important to pause and celebrate accomplishments, especially those that honor our legacy and invite us to look forward to a more positively optimistic future.

UWC International published its Annual Review.  This is a wonderful complement to our Impact Report and we invite you to take a moment to read and celebrate the significant accomplishments that you make possible here at UWC Costa Rica and movement-wide.  This is the impact you inspire through your giving.

We are also proud to announce that Faith Abiodun (new UWC International Executive Director) and Dr. Musimbi Kanyoro (Chair UWC International Board) will both join us here on our campus for the celebration of the 15th Anniversary on March 19th--more details coming up soon!

Last week, we kicked off the exciting news of UWC's nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize!  Even though 95 organizations were nominated for the Prize this year, we feel so proud to know that the mission and vision of UWC are being celebrated and amplified this way.  As members of the UWC Costa Rica community, this honor belongs to all of us, and this recognition does not come in vain.  Each day our purpose is guided by the UWC mission and every one of us makes this positive and more peaceful impact tangible--so thank YOU for being part of this movement.  We couldn't do it without you!

Help us spread and celebrate this exciting news.  Tell your friends and family about UWC Costa Rica.  And why not, invite them to join you in supporting our work to shape a more peaceful world through empathy by looking beyond prejudice and labels and instead of connecting through our shared humanity to address local and global challenges.

Remember you can support UWC Costa Rica again at https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/uwccostarica22/

¡Muchas gracias!
