Kennedy-Lugar YES students Mervenur Luy from Turkey and Azka Bastaman and Ayeshadira Putri from Indonesia, hosted in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, recently had the chance to visit with Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx. Azka Bastaman used her vocal skills in the interest of public diplomacy by singing the US National Anthem.

Azka has been very involved in choral activities since arriving in the US.
