January 24: Bibi Bahrami
Join us Tuesday to hear from Bibi Bahrami the Founder and President of AWAKEN. Bibi was born and raised in Behsood, Afghanistan. She came to Muncie, Indiana in 1986 and has been an active part of her community for over thirty years. After learning English and earning her GED, she went on to receive her degree from Ball State University. In 2002, she founded and became president of AWAKEN, (Afghan Women’s And Kids’ Education & Necessities), in order to give back to the Afghan women and children she left behind.
Through Bibi’s leadership and the support of her community, AWAKEN has made a difference in the education and health care for thousands of Afghan women and children for over a decade. Bibi is a member of the Muncie Rotary club and Interfaith Fellowship. She is the recipient of the Vivian Conley Award for Humanitarian Service, the Indiana Women of Achievement Award, Ball State’s International Development Award, and the Rotary VIVA Award for Volunteerism. She has dedicated much of her life to the service of others and strives to make a difference in any way she can in the local and international community.
