Avani Singal, a 2023 graduate of Kentucky Country Day School epitomizes the school motto, a citizen, scholar, and steward. After graduation she plan to study Global Health Policy on a Pre-Med Track.

Avani has visited Belize and Guatemala numerous times and continues visit to serve in outreach clinics as well as work in orphanages. She aids in vision check and prepares patients for their visit with the doctors. Her fluency in Spanish is an asset as she can communicate with patients directly and is a translator for the visiting doctors. She has witnessed firsthand the inequities in healthcare and education.

Avani is an integral part in collecting hundreds of pairs of glasses over the years and she will pass this program to her sister as she transitions to college.

She is recipient of Jamie Parsley scholarship for exceptional leadership two years in a row, the Rotary Club Unsung Hero Award for her community work and Gold Presidential Award for her dedication to volunteering and earning more than hundred hours of community work during high school.
