SCURTA BIOGRAFIE—Sandra Pralong

Dupa o adolescenta petrecuta in Romania, studii in Elvetia, Franta si Statele Unite, si o viata profesionala care o poarta de la Paris la New York, Sandra Pralong se intoarce la Bucuresti in 1990 pentru a pune bazele Fundatiei Soros si a permite astfel romanilor sa beneficieze de bursele si programele fundatiei. Urmeaza apoi 2 ani ca si Consilier la Cotroceni sub mandatul Presedintelui Constantinescu, o cariera in sistemul Natiunilor Unite si lansarea unei fundatii care calauzeste tinerii romani spre etica si civilitate. La 20 de ani de la intoarcere, Sandra Pralong coordonaza volumul “De ce m-am intors in Romania” pentru a permite unor personalitati sa-si astearna in scris motivele revenirii si impresiile despre “acasa”.
