| Introduction | Florence is a third-year university student pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Neurobiology at Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. In December, after weeks of scouring volunteer opportunities, she found the Global Art Exhibit and fell in love with its fusion of art, humanitarian work, and ambition to enhance global education. As a summer intern for the Global Art Exhibit, she was assigned to Thailand for 7 weeks and Hong Kong for 3. Thanks to the generosity of the Fung Foundation Scholarship, she is able to volunteer her time (not to mention pay for airfare!). She is currently in Mae Sot, Thailand teaching science classes in English to Burmese refugee students (most of the Karen ethnic minority), and is boarding at the school campus along with the principal's family, the office staff, the female boarding students, and some other teachers. Florence is having the time of her life. |
