My current routine is somewhat unique compared to other students in my program. While most of my peers start their day early, my schedule allows for a different approach that balances my academic, personal, and professional responsibilities effectively. Morning Midday Afternoon and Evening Friday and Weekend A Special Sunday Experience But for this time aroundContinue reading “My Weekly Routine”

Farewell to Second Harvest
Hello Everyone! As the summer is winding down, it’s almost time to say goodbye to Orlando and Second Harvest. I’ll be honest when I say I still am intended to volunteer 7 more days in order to hit 50 hours volunteering with the bank, right now I’m at 30 and kind of want to increaseContinue reading “Farewell to Second Harvest”
My 6 Weeks
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?

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”
Community Engagement in Addressing Issues
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”
