School Feeding Cluster Strategy- Designing Applicable and Sustainable Teachers Guides

Upon wrapping up the Play & Resilience project by mid-July, I was thrilled to be involved in some miscellaneous tasks at the office – writing concept notes, bringing together some promotional material for IICBA’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and doing some editing work. I put together a short video for the Play & Resilience dissemination workshop. Check it out here – My next task for … Continue reading School Feeding Cluster Strategy- Designing Applicable and Sustainable Teachers Guides

24 hours as an IEDP intern in Cape Town

For the last of my entries, I got inspired by a post of my fellow IEDPer, Morgan, who shared her daily schedule while in her internship in Germany. Here is a quick glance in my life as an intern here in Cape Town. Thursday, August 29, 2019. 8AM: My alarm rings at 8am, but I often wake up before the alarm. I am generally enjoying … Continue reading 24 hours as an IEDP intern in Cape Town

Hello from the other side

By the time you read my last post now, after 87 days in Hamburg and 22 hours in the air and airports, I have concluded with my internship and returned home (with all pieces of luggages) in Shanghai. Pondering on the fact that I probably just left the schedule of least number of hours committed per weekday (interns were required to be in the office … Continue reading Hello from the other side

It will be fine. It happened before and I made through it. This time I will survive, too. If this is what happens when moving to a new country, I’ll just take it. Remember last time it happened in 2010 you were so scared but you didn’t want to show so you hid in the bathroom and cried without a sound for 10 minutes with … Continue reading Kommt sofort

Hiking up Table Mountain on a day I shouldn’t have and more adventures in Cape Town

On this blog post I thought of talking a little bit about the different activities I have been doing here in Cape Town. The greatest adventure of them all happens definitely at work, where I analyze over 3000+ responses of beneficiaries for the project we are evaluating and design with the feedback of my colleagues an evaluation matrix that will guide the quantitative and qualitative … Continue reading Hiking up Table Mountain on a day I shouldn’t have and more adventures in Cape Town

¡Saludos desde Bolivia!

¡Saludos! My name is Magali and I’ll be interning with UNICEF Bolivia in La Paz for the next 13 weeks. It’s a little wild to think that I’ve been in La Paz for less than a week—from adjusting to the altitude, to some changes in plans due to protests in the city, to my first few days of work, it’s been a whirlwind five days! … Continue reading ¡Saludos desde Bolivia!

Jamaica Journal- how the journey ends

This blog post is slightly overdue but I needed the time and the distance to be truly reflective. The last few weeks in Kingston were filled with an abundance of activity such as report generations, handover meetings- a general flurry of dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s if you will. The fact that it spanned over two weeks was because July and August are … Continue reading Jamaica Journal- how the journey ends
