First, I love photography, and here you have certainly posted a beautiful picture!! I take pictures with a focus on emotion and you certainly show happiness!! Just beautiful!! Second, and more importantly, great background. Would love to learn more about your work. I know, given time working in Africa, WANEP's work well!
Welcome to the Network!!
My name is Matt Pierson and I am an Peace and Conflict Resolution masters student. It seems that you have a lot of experience working with throughout Africa. I am trying to find some sort of internship in Africa this summer but have so far not been too succesful in my search. I was wondering if you had any suggestions of places or organizations that I might try contacting?
Any help would be appreciated,
Matt Pierson
