I am very lucky to have picked such a beautiful country to visit. Being in Peru has opened my eyes to a new lifestyle, new connections and communities, and much more. I loved Peru so much that I was reluctant to leave when the time came. The projects that I contributed to filled me withContinue reading “My 6 Weeks”

My Map
Due to the fact that my internship with Uganda Development and Health Associates is virtual, my map of the spaces that I inhabit on a daily or weekly basis differs from many. Since the work that I do is completed via my computer, I can work from pretty much anywhere (Wi-Fi permitting)! If I wereContinue reading “My Map”
Boggy Map
When I started my experience at Camp, I mostly spent my time in Camp Operations and the Dining Hall. Now, many weeks later I am doing something different every day. That is one of the things I love MOST about my job at camp. I love to help everyone at camp achieve their best selvesContinue reading “Boggy Map”
A New Community?
I feel conflicted about whether or not I feel as if I have joined a new community. To some degree, I feel that I am profoundly educated on Argentinian culture and problems, facts that grant me admission to the community. Furthermore, being more educated than anyone else I know in my day-to-day American life, causesContinue reading “A New Community?”
Culture Experience in Tokyo, Japan
Japan, has been one that I have been able to immerse myself in. Being in Japan for 6 weeks has helped me immerse myself in food, transportation, and etiquette. In Japan, it is necessary to always say “thank you” for the things that are being done for you. Furthermore, Japanese transportation culture is very uniqueContinue reading “Culture Experience in Tokyo, Japan”

While interning for Uganda Development and Health Associates, my team of fellow interns and I have learned more about the communal issues within the populations we are working with. The major stressor impacting such communities is the lack of sexual and reproductive health services and education. Although social determinants of health differ depending on differentContinue reading “Community Engagement in Addressing Issues”
Community!
In Kathmandu life is centered around religion, Hinduism, and Buddhism. There are temples on every street, as well as religious sights scattered throughout the city. Solidarity looks like support and over kindness. This past week was Teacher’s Day, a day where schools celebrate their educators. As I am a teaching mothers English, they told meContinue reading “Community!”
Solidarity in Argentinian Issues
I think that perfect solidarity is almost impossible to find in any community, with any issue. Nonetheless, in reflection on my three projects, I will rank the solidarity of the issues I work with from greatest to least. I find the most solidarity has to do with the protection of children’s identity, security, and privacyContinue reading “Solidarity in Argentinian Issues”
Routine?
My current work routine is a little irregular due to my three projects that require me to be at three different locations. Every morning, I usually work on my technology and identity project. Sometimes I go into the Projects Abroad office, a 15-minute walk from my house, but otherwise, I usually stay at home andContinue reading “Routine?”
my community in reflection…
There are undoubtedly structural inequalities exacerbated by social conditions in Argentina. In my observation, there are two primary imbalances having to with the economic and political climate. The economic climate in Argentina has had a long history of instability that has continued into the current presidency. The inflation rate has increased exponentially, suppressing the alreadyContinue reading “my community in reflection…”
