Tomorrow, I leave for my field visit in Chhattisgarh. The past few weeks have been all about preparing for this field visit. But, of course, before I talk about work, let me talk about my experiences outside of work. Two weeks ago, my workmates brought me to Akshardham temple (do a quick Google search of the temple!). It is a huge Hindu temple, which is … Continue reading Chhattisgarh, I am ready for you!
Hello again, everybody from Roatán, Honduras! As of today I have officially been on the island for one month. In some ways it feels like I’ve been here for a while, I’ve gotten used to my new routine, found a favorite coffee shop, and gotten to see most parts of the island. Mostly, however, I seriously cannot believe how fast the time is flying by! … Continue reading A Mid-Summer Update
Some of my favorite work activities in Brasília so far have been official meetings, especially interagency meetings. UNESCO in Brazil being just one part of a larger organization, and UNESCO itself being just one of many agencies in the UN system, our office in Brasília communicates and collaborates a lot with other offices and agencies in Brasília, in the region and in the world. This … Continue reading Meetings
Naanga def, or how are you, is one of the few phrases in Wolof that I have picked up in my two weeks here. To say the past two weeks have flown by is an understatement; I feel like I haven’t had time (or made time) to sit and reflect on all that’s happened. From starting my internship and getting to know coworkers to finding … Continue reading Naanga Def?

Hallo, everyone! Arriving in Bonn was a trip and a halfffff. The complexity was intentional for the sake of a cheaper plane ticket and wow, was it an adventure. Now that I’m here and settled, I am so happy and I’ve more or less slid into my groove. But let’s start from the beginning! After “graduation” (those of us graduating immediately following Internship walked in … Continue reading Guten “Morgan” from Germany!
I’m Matt and I’m spending this summer based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I’m interning with Geneva Global, a philanthropic firm that supervises an accelerated learning program for out-of-school children, called Speed Schools, being implemented with local partners in Ethiopia. Since launched in 2011, over 100,000 students have graduated from the program, gaining foundational skills necessary to enroll in Ethiopia’s public school system. My international experience … Continue reading Week 1 in Ethiopia: Speed School, Field Visits, & Food Poisoning
As I read my latest internship blog post to prepare for this post, I was shocked to learn that so much had happened in three weeks! In last post, it had been a week since I arrived in Paris and now, it’s been a month since I’ve started my internship here. I have so much to share so let’s jump right into the business without … Continue reading La vie à Paris poursuivit…
So I will have you know that it is very interesting to be mistaken for a local in a place that is very unfamiliar to you. It is even more interesting to be in a country that shares the same name as you. Yet, I love it. It has been a dream of mine to travel to India one day, and I am still wrapping … Continue reading नमस्ते- Namaste! Hello from India!
