“I took away an invaluable insight into the way development projects actually work on the ground, including knowledge about the obstacles that are often encountered and how to be flexible enough in approach to overcome them.”
“This experience helped me decide which development track I want to focus on in the policy program and what kind of work I would like to be doing in the future. I became personally invested in the development of the community and found that my passion lies in seeing such projects progress.”
