Leslie C. 2014 Fellow
Leslie spent the fall in Africa, working first on environmental education in Zambia and then volunteering in a school in South Africa. In the spring she went to India to assist in a program for women and young children. Leslie had seen and was strongly influenced by “The Pink Gang,” a documentary film about Indian women, all of whom wear pink and are trained and train others to fight against rape. She is now enrolled at San Francisco State University with plans to major in environmental engineering and minor in gender studies. Thanks to her year as a Brownstein Fellow, Leslie now has a global network of friends made during her year abroad. With her in this photo are Scott Messer, President of the Michael Brownstein Foundation, and Vice President Anna Nesser.
