By Kayla Roby —
A U of L exchange student could one day lead his Southeast Asian country, if he gets his way. Zay Yah Oo arrived in Louisville less than two months ago after leaving his home country of Myanmar.
Oo’s big move to Kentucky was based on a full scholarship from the U.S. government to receive his master’s degree in political science and public policy here.
“I came to learn and be part of the social life and educational and political system,” Oo said.
