Student Kate wins help for UN posting
A STUDENT from Heriot-Watt University has been given an award to help her undertake an internship with the United Nations in New York.
Kate Rougvie, who has just graduated with an honours degree in interpreting and translating (French and Spanish) receives the seventh annual Fiona Watson memorial fund award.
Ms Rougvie has spent time as a volunteer English teacher in a small village in India and as a teaching assistant in a Spanish primary school.
She would like to work in the field of human rights, with particular focus on refugees, and her internship - which sees her leave for the UN in August - should help her reach her goal.
Fiona Watson, Political Adviser to the Special Representative of the Secretary General, Sergio Viera de Mello, was one of the 22 peacekeepers killed in a terrorist attack on the UN headquarters in Baghdad on August 19, 2003.
