Prior to joining the organization, Hannah spent a year in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Laos) as an English Teaching Assistant on a Fulbright U.S. Student Program award. In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Hannah volunteered with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in their Pakse (southern Laos) office where she helped build English communication capacity. Through relationships built in Laos, Hannah experienced firsthand how a sense of communal responsibility can help combat hateful ideology and foster a safer society.

The effort to eradicate hate requires the active participation of every component of our society, to include governments, the private sector, communities of faith and indeed every aspect of civil society. There is no more urgent task in front of us. The organizers of the Eradicate Hate Global Summit are doing the United States and the world an enormous service by tackling hatred and extremism with a focus on honest dialogue and conversation, genuine learning and practical solutions. This will not happen overnight, but the Pittsburgh community’s leadership in this effort is genuinely inspiring and motivating.
