Fame on SIT Website

I studied abroad with SIT in Fall 2004, and I received an email about two weeks ago from a man who works at World Learning, SIT’s parent organization. He is in charge of writing news articles for the website. I’m not sure how he found out and decided to choose me to write about, rather than the other five people from my program who are all back in Ecuador this summer doing equally engaging and incredible work, but he was interested in my work at Pachamama. I sent him some photos and a summary of my work at Pachamama, Pachamama’s work in general (both of which are more or less summarized previously on this blog), and about how the internship fits into my studies as a Development Studies concentrator at Brown and how it may fit into my future. For those of you who keep up on the blog, that part’s more interesting and personal and won’t be repetitive. I’m such a famous alumnus of SIT. Wow.

The photos can be found here. The first six are from my time studying abroad here last fall, and the last five are from this summer.

The article I wrote can be found here.

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!
