What is better than one supervisor are two supervisors

My work at World Learning continues with more annotated bibliographies. (If you don’t know what they are, read my last post, or in fact, just don’t. Human beings are better off without knowing certain things.) In work related developments, though, I have an additional supervisor. The fantastic Radmila is also a Senior Education Specialist who is working on a donor-funded program that she wants me … Continue reading What is better than one supervisor are two supervisors

A capital internship

So, where does an International Educational Development intern go for his global internship; Washington DC, obviously. The seat of the US government, the city with crazy traffic and an even crazier assortment of non-profits. But my non-profit (not that I own it or anything) is particularly special. It is called ‘World Learning’ and amongst its many contributions to the world is its summer homestay study … Continue reading A capital internship

Not Ideal but Reality

I have been in Johannesburg for almost eight weeks. In the past few weeks, I have done a lot of works and traveling. The life in Johannesburg is not so fun especially during the weekdays but I am getting better to enjoy the time here. I am so glad that my internship is going well and learning a lot about development work and myself during … Continue reading Not Ideal but Reality

A Whirlwind of Workshops

The title pretty much sums it up. The past month at work has been a whirlwind of trainings, workshops, and conferences, and it will only continue – it is looking like it will be a marathon through the last few weeks of my time here! Although exhausting, the uptick in events that my organization has been hosting has been a great learning opportunity, and a … Continue reading A Whirlwind of Workshops

The Finale

I have seen so much of South Africa, learned so much about the South African education system, and met some incredible people over the last 10 weeks, and I cannot believe that it is suddenly coming to an end. I head back to the States on Monday, but I will forever hold these memories and the things that I have learned here close to my … Continue reading The Finale

ECD Project & Elephant Sightings

Internship highlights: Over the past few weeks, I have had the opportunity to be more involved in the ECD project I talked about in my last post. As I mentioned earlier, I was in the Limpopo province for a week, during which my time was split between doing work in the satellite office there and visiting schools with trainers to provide school-based support to Grade … Continue reading ECD Project & Elephant Sightings

The Final Sprint

My final week at JET Education Services (JET) was a sprint to the finish line. I began the week right where I started my internship, at the Johannesburg office. After eight weeks away in the Cape Town office it was nice to see Joburg based co-workers in person, but I didn’t have much time to catch up. Instead I was busy helping to put the … Continue reading The Final Sprint

To the Field, Chalo!

Chalo! I hear this phrase thrown around almost daily in conversation here and I love it for both its simplicity as well as its flexibility in meaning. Most often it’s used to mean “let’s go,” as in “let’s go for a walk. Chalo!” You could also use it to express relief at having finally finished a task, like “chalo yeah, it’s finally done.” It slips … Continue reading To the Field, Chalo!

Teacher hat, elections and more

I got to wear my teacher hat this past week of my internship. Well, sort of. I was scheduled to do a skill share regarding life skills in Cambodia, where i would present the research I had been doing for the last two months, along with my recommendations for the pilot project and the framework. I thought a few of my colleagues from the program … Continue reading Teacher hat, elections and more

A Beiruti in the Making

10 weeks down; 2 to go – and I still feel like I’m just getting started. I’m finally making a life here in Beirut, but I leave so soon, and I am pretty bummed. So here’s a bit of a glimpse into the life I’m creating here. _____________________ I started Arabic classes a few weeks ago; and though I still can’t get passed the basics … Continue reading A Beiruti in the Making
