一個扶輪世界和平獎學金協助立陶宛的阿諾德•普蘭克西斯開啟了大門，讓他成為他的道德領導偶像與波羅的海共和國總統亞當斯Valdas Adamkus的國內政策的顧問。普蘭克西斯是位他能說英語、法語、立陶宛語及俄語，畢業於巴黎波爾科技大學的扶輪和平中心並獲得國際事務之碩士學位。

A Rotary World Peace Fellowship helped open the door for Arnoldas Pranckevicius of Lithuania to become a domestic policy adviser to his “idol of moral leadership” and president of the Baltic republic, Valdas Adamkus. Pranckevicius, who speaks English, French, Lithuanian, and Russian, graduated from the Rotary Peace Center, Sciences Po in Paris with a master’s degree in international affairs.

他的獎學金是由7150地區(美國紐約)所提供的。他說“我實在很幸運有機會能加入該團隊並且能貢獻其努力使立陶宛成為更民主、安全及繁榮的國家”。

His fellowship was sponsored by District 7150 (New York, (USA). “I was indeed blessed with the opportunity to join his team and contribute in his effort of making Lithuania an ever more democratic, secure, and prosperous nation,” he said.

普蘭克西斯分析立陶宛的政治體制之趨勢及發展，同時為他們的總統準備講稿及政策宣言。這位25歲的顧問已經處理許多政治的舞弊事件及促進道德標準並促進社會及民間更加開放。立陶宛在2004年的國會選舉及新政府的資訊在在都證明是一項特別的挑戰。

Pranckevicius analyzes trends and developments in Lithuania’s political system, along with drafting speeches and policy statements for the president. The 25-year-old adviser has tackled issues such as political corruption, advancement of ethical standards, and promotion of a civic and open society. The country’s parliamentary elections in 2004 and information of a new government proved particularly challenging.

“我不但要去遵循並分析競選及政黨的計劃並預測選舉結果”他說“同時也要草擬可能的聯盟並建議如果另一個反對黨組成政府的長期的影響”。

“I not only had to follow and analyze the campaign and programs of the political parties [and] make election predictions,” he said, “but also draft possible coalitions and suggest the long-term consequences of one of the other formations in the government.”
