Alumna Anne Heyman, the South-African born lawyer best known for rescuing orphans by establishing youth villages in Rwanda, passed away on January 31. After giving up a legal career in New York, she devoted herself to philanthropy. She served as chairwoman of a Manhattan-based organization that assists the elderly, established her Rwandan mission, and built one of the largest solar energy plants in sub-Saharan Africa.
