Retiring Food Expert Receives Bolivian Award

USAID/Bolivia

LA PAZ, Bolivia—Frederick Rudolph “Rudy” Vigil, who retired after 23 years with USAID, received an award from the Bolivian government for his efforts to provide food to vulnerable Bolivians.

Vigil retired as team leader from the Office of Food for Peace (FFP). He was presented a medal by the Secretary of the Department of La Paz, Bolivia during a Jan. 20 ceremony at the office of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency, one of four USAID partners working in Bolivia.

“Rudy is a very dedicated and well-respected employee among his peers and the beneficiaries of La Paz,” said USAID/Bolivia foreign service officer Alan Hurdus. He “is recognized for his leadership and service to the communities of La Paz.”

Vigil worked at missions in Africa and Asia as well as the Bureau for Asia and the Near East. He then joined the FFP office and spent more than 10 years working in Latin America.

In Peru, he was presented with another award by the local community in recognition of the valuable contribution the Title II programs made to poor communities.

“Rudy is a true professional with a heart of gold that keeps on giving. The fact that many Latin Americans have graduated from FFP programs is a testament to his tireless efforts” said P.E. Balakrishnan, FFP development program director.
