My fall with the Advocacy Project has been such a rewarding experience. Through my virtual internship, I was able to interact and work with inspiring men and women in the US, Kenya, and Uganda. I spent my time working to help manage some of AP’s partner projects. I worked alongside Patrick and Emma, who are running the soap, mask, and toilet project in Uganda. I was absolutely amazed by Patrick and Emma’s level of dedication and passion. I was also able to conduct podcast interviews with young high school women in Arlington VA about their experiences with COVID-19. Those podcasts were used to advertise their COVID-19 quilt project. Along with this I helped coordinate the animal square project in Nairobi. It was such a privilege to work with Iain, Mary Ellen, and my fellow interns this fall, they all taught me the power of collaboration and perseverance. I can’t wait to see all of these amazing things AP does in the future!
