Newnan Welcomes 36th GRSP Student Since 1954

In 1952, the Newnan Rotary Club hosted its very first Georgia Student Rotary Program (GRSP) student from Korea. What began as an effort to engage with a younger generation and learn more about other cultures has now, more than 70 years later, become an annual tradition for the club.

Each year, the club has hosted these students with partner clubs and will partner once again this year with the Senoia Rotary Club. 

Newnan has hosted students from 35 countries in every continent with the exception of Antarctica. This year, that number has reached 36. Our student is Favour Onwanuo, who was  born in Nnewi, Anambra State, Nigeria, and says she believes family values and traditions are her first valuable asset. Her father is a trader, her mother is a caterer and she has three siblings. Onwanuo is a freshman at the University of West Georgia, where she is studying nursing - a career she selected because it is a rewarding and fulfilling career path that has room for personal and professional growth. 

“After my education, I would like to work in hospitals or clinics to assist in the care of patients alongside working with the medical practitioners to gain more knowledge and experience as I look forward to establishing mine,” she said. 

While not spending time with studies, Onwanuo said she enjoys card games, watching TV shows and movies, baking, collecting art and singing, especially in church.
