Our World ORT Mensch of the Month is Latin America Representative Amelie Esquenazi, a warm, inspiring, and indefatigably dedicated leader in our global educational network.
Amelie’s role in Latin America is central to ORT’s mission of unlocking opportunity through education. She plays a key part in recruiting exceptional students for our ecological and academic programs, and she helps design, coordinate, and manage initiatives that strengthen educational partnerships across the region and around the world.
Working closely with colleagues in World ORT and local partners alike, Amelie has helped advance seminars, training programs, exchange initiatives, and collaborative projects that support our shared vision of globally aware, mission-driven learners and leaders.
Her commitment to strengthening ORT’s presence and impact across Latin America is matched by her collaborative spirit. Amelie builds bridges among educators, youth, and international partners.
She helps expand opportunities for connection, understanding, and shared learning. Whether she’s helping launch a new initiative or representing ORT at major international collaborations, her approach is always thoughtful, inclusive, and grounded in deep respect for the communities we serve.
It’s a privilege to work alongside Amelie. Her dedication, energy, and inspiring professionalism make her a true mensch, someone who embodies our values and makes ORT stronger every day.
