A graduate student from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Farina took part in Hannah Fink’s documentary film “Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge” and will participate in the Khmer Studies Forum this summer. Her career goal is to become an oral historian and womens activist.
“It is such great honor for me to receive this award,” Farina said, noting that the award will fund her Ohio University studies and “help me continue my mission to have a career that benefits women and children.”
“Farina is a soft-spoken woman with incredible grace and intellect. She is empathetic and an excellent listener and possesses a strength of character that allows her to be an effective advocate.”
