Internship

April has been busyyy! As of now, I have finished 2 of my classes + finals. (One of these two didn’t have any work all year or a final exam so I don’t know if it counts, but I’m still looking at it as a good thing.) Right now I am just trying to enjoy my last two weeks in SDQ, working on 2 final papers, and also completing hours at my internship. I have been interning at Tu Mujer since March, which is a women’s development center in a poor neighborhood that is actually called Vietnam. (Let’s just say it’s a pretty rough area.) Tu Mujer is an incredible program that trains women in Vietnam to monitor the health, environmental, and economic conditions in town and report back to the office, hold training sessions, and create changes. For my internship I go with these promotoras as they take inventories of the conditions, and also am doing an independent research project on relationships between men and women in the town. The town next to Vietnam is called Puerto Rico. I will attach some photos of the area.
