The Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, Governor General of Canada, graciously agreed to act as
Honourary Patron of the Canada-Hungary Educational Foundation.
Madame Jean was born in Port au Prince, Haiti. As a young child in 1968, she and her family left her native country and sought refuge in Canada.
Madame Jean's sense of social commitment and her appreciation of national and international realities led her to journalism. For eighteen years, she was a highly regarded journalist and anchor of information programs. Her Excellency has won numerous honours and awards for her professional achievements, including: the Human Rights League of Canada's 1989 Media Award for her report titled La pasionaria, on the struggle of an immigrant woman in Québec.
