Anniela “Anni” Carracedo is a 21-year-old Venezuelan Student based in Bay St Louis, Mississippi. I have worked with her on our Rotary Action Group For Peace Social Media Committee this year. She has moved us into the 21st Century with her creativity, her video for the International Day of Peace (which has had thousands of viewers), her talents for creating our RAGFP Newsletter and her compelling social media posts. Anni is a total Rock Star, a model of “We can get it done” for all of us, young and old. She lets nothing stop her. For instance, when Venezuela had no electricity for the Model United Nations, the year she was elected Secretary General, she and her team used creative ways to have a United Nations, a Model UN for high school students.
She’s an alumna of Rotary Interact community service Committee at Hancock High School: where she got to work and organized a collection drive for shoes, socks, and hats to be sent to Columbia. She also was a member of RYLA, and a Rotary Youth Exchange student. She serves as a member of the Interact Advisory Council and Co-chair of the inaugural Rotary International Youth Advisory Council. Anni is a member of the Rotary Club of Bay St Louis and a member of different committees at the District and zone levels regarding youth programs, Peace, and DEI. Anni and her friends started Rotary Interactive Quarantine during the pandemic, a group of 800 students that evolved into the Rotary Youth Network (RYN), a platform to connect and empower Rotary youth worldwide.
