Georgia Rotary Student Program salutes Georgia’s own Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.), for life well-lived an example of service above self. Carter died Sunday at the age of 100 at his home in Plains, Ga. He was the oldest living president in US history. Carter served as the 39th president of the United States, from Jan. 20, 1977 to Jan. 20, 1981. Carter, a peacemaker, diplomat and global humanitarian also served in the Georgia State Senate from 1963 to 1967 and as the 76th governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975. 
He championed human rights throughout the world. He attended Georgia Southwestern College and the Georgia Institute of Technology, and received a B.S. degree from the United States Naval Academy in 1946. He was also a Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 2002 for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.” Carter wanted to see the eradication of the Guinea worm disease, which is now in single digits. 
Funeral services for Carter will span six days and three cities, including multiple stops at significant places in his life beginning Saturday, when his remains depart the Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Americus, Ga., in the morning. The motorcade will travel through Carters hometown of Plains to his childhood home and family farm before heading to Atlanta. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and other dignitaries will observe a moment of silence with the motorcade at the state Capitol, honoring Carters time as a state senator and governor. 
From there, Carters remains will lie in repose at the Carter Presidential Center, where members of the public can pay their respects from Saturday through Tuesday.  Tuesday morning, Carter and his family will travel to Washington, D.C.. to the Capitol Rotunda and the Washington National Cathedral for a National Funeral Service before a final flight back to Georgia on Thursday. President Joe Biden confirmed that Jan. 9, 2025, will be a day of national mourning, with federal offices closed for Carter’s state funeral at the National Cathedral. 
Carter will be celebrated with a private funeral at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, where he taught Sunday School well into the final years of his life. Following the service, Carter will be interred at the family home in a private ceremony, buried beneath a willow tree next to his late wife Rosalynn.

Being a part of the Georgia Rotary Student Program has been one of the most profound experiences of my life. This program has afforded me the opportunity to forge lasting friendships with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. This, perhaps, is the greatest gift that one can hope to get for it allows us to see through differences across cultures and instead find similarities between one another. I feel that such fellowship across participants, both students and host families, is what made this program such an enriching experience for me.

Since 1946, Rotarians in Georgia, USA, have promoted world peace through understanding by offering ambassadorial scholarships to international students for one year cultural immersion and of study in Georgia colleges and universities.

Each year, students from all over the world make friends in the United States and other nations and learn about differing cultures and lifestyles. Georgia Rotarians believe β€œPeace is Possible” and through GRSP promote international goodwill through friendship and understanding.

The students become adopted members of a Georgia β€œhost family,” living on-campus at the school they attend. This is an ambassadorial scholarship program, not an exchange!
