Samantha Syverson (Vikalp Women’s Group): Sam worked as a legal intern at Ocean Conservancy where she worked with a coalition of environmental groups lobbying for policy change in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon tragedy. At the time of her fellowship she was studying at the Georgetown University Law School, where she was an active participant in the Community Justice Project clinic. Sam was part of a clinic team which visited Vikalp in spring 2011, and she returned in the summer with fellow-student Meredith Williams to serve as an AP Peace Fellow.
This past Sunday Meredith and I went on a field visit with Maya and Indira from Parma. We visited a family in Sankheda to conduct interviews for a personal profile and gather facts for a property rights case study. Watch the video below to see what a day in the life of a peace fellow is like!
