Young Manitoba Global Citizens Receive Award
Posted July 5th 2011
MCIC has presented four graduating Grade 12 students with its Global Citizenship Award.
These four students were selected from many excellent applications from all over the province to be honoured for taking action as global citizens. Through their local and global actions, these students are changing and improving the lives of hundreds including children, youth, people with disabilities and those living in poverty beyond our borders.
The four recipients of the award are Barbara Bucheli from Springfield Collegiate in Oakbank, Jordyn Maduke from Erickson Collegiate Institute in Erickson, Shereen Rashwan from Collège St. Norbert Collegiate in Winnipeg and Matthew James Stewart from Kildonan-East Collegiate in Winnipeg.

“Through their actions, these students have shown that they are committed to making our world a better place” says Janice Hamilton, Executive Director of MCIC. “They are leaders in their schools and we expect they will continue to be leaders in their communities in the future. Their active global citizenship is an inspiration to us all.”
The Global Citizenship Award was established in 2009 to recognize students who have engaged in meaningful leadership and global citizenship volunteer activities aimed at a more just and sustainable world. Each of the winners were presented with a framed certificate and a $200 award at their graduation ceremony.
