March 9, 2021 | by Kardelen Koldas 15 Naoki Kihata ’22, Jordyn Kim ’22, and Keerthi Martyn ’22 have been awarded prestigious Davis Projects for Peace grants for projects in South Korea and Haiti. This summer, the $10,000 awards will take Kihata and Kim to South Korea, where they’ll initiate a CCAK-like mentorship program aiming to address mental health burdens created by the pressures of the education system. Martyn will travel to Haiti, where he’ll work to strengthen the curriculum of a local college for social work by incorporating arts and art therapy. Their projects are two of the 125 winners for 2021. “We are thrilled,” said Kim, a mathematical sciences and biology double major and a chemistry minor.
