From May 26 until July 22nd, I will be participating in a DukeEngage program located in South Africa. Along with seven other Duke undergraduates, one Duke graduate student, and two Duke professors, I'll serve various communities within the nation.
The first week in South Africa will be spent immersing ourselves in the history of the country, and volunteering in several arenas. The remaining seven weeks will be spent in Cape Town, where our primary work will be done.
Each of the eight students on the Cape Town program has been placed in work positions that align with his/her interests. I am fortunate enough to be interning as a Media Intern for the Black Sash, South Africa's largest Human Rights NGO.
I can't wait to see what cultural, intellectual, and emotional journeys this summer holds.
A big thanks to Bill & Melinda Gates for completely funding all DukeEngage projects!!! We'll definitely "pay it forward."
