| Introduction | In conjunction with QPID (Queen's Project on International Development), I will be traveling with a team of four to Bolivia, in South America. We will be leaving on the 17th of May, and will return on the 10th of August. Our team will be working on different projects, all of which are catered to what we're studying or are interested in. I will be working with an NGO called CINER out of Cochabamba, the third largest city in Bolivia. My job is to update and research alternative sources of energy and compile all that information into a virtual database for local individuals and businesses to use. I, along with my project partner Carola, will be working with CINER for the duration of our trip. Our other two teammates, Brad and Juliana, will be working out of Sucre, best known as the judicial capital of Bolivia. They will be working with an NGO called ETAPAS, researching and communicating healthy practices to local residents and doing some construction work in the city. During the course of our trip we will also embark on an incredible week-long retreat in mid-July. This journey will certainly be an incredible one, so stay tuned for inspiring stories and incredible pictures! |
