AMMWEC Celebrates Sunbul Ahadi’s Internship at the Eisenhower Institute

The Afghan American Gettysburg College student was honored at the Institute’s end-of-internship reception, alongside young leaders from across South Asia.

AMMWEC is honored to welcome Sunbul Ahadi, an Afghan American student from Gettysburg College, as an intern through the Eisenhower Institute — and delighted to celebrate her success at the Institute’s end-of-internship reception.

The reception brought together young people from Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh — a gathering AMMWEC President Anila Ali described as feeling like a “young United Nations.”

“Meeting young people from Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh felt like a young United Nations. This is the promise of America: bringing people together at a human level to learn from one another, build bridges of peace, and become the leaders the world has been waiting for.” — Anila Ali, President, American Muslim & Multifaith Women’s Empowerment Council (AMMWEC)
Sunbul’s internship reflects AMMWEC’s continued investment in youth leadership and peacebuilding across South Asian and diaspora communities — connecting the next generation of leaders through education, dialogue, and shared purpose.

Congratulations, Sunbul!

AMMWEC is proud of your achievement and excited for what comes next.
