INTERNSHIP??

I have exciting news...I am applying for an internship in Africa! I am submitting my application today and hopefully I will at least get an interview to show them what I've got! I would be leaving the second week in January and coming back the first week in April! Just in time for my best friend coming back from England! It would be absolutely amazing! The program is called the SEED program. I am in a class right now that we are in groups each trying to raise one thousand dollars for the program. But they send students to Africa or Peru to teach the local businesses various business classes and give out micro loans. These people who make around 100 USD a year are given a loan for double triple sometimes quadruple that to help kick off their business to a new level to help provide for their future as well as the future of their children. It's an incredible opportunity and I would love to be involved. So everyone...cross your fingers for me!
