Hello to anyone reading this. I have been awarded an opportunity to go on a study abroad trip from January 3rd through the 16th to Rwanda and Uganda. I will be exploring these two countries through international development. The most important thing I will do out there is visiting the Akagera national park and reserve in Rwanda. Visit local schools and engage with the people in their communities with a lens of applied anthropology. I'll also visit other ecological sites. The research I plan on documenting there on local people and conservation is imperative. There's a separate opportunity I'll use my work here to speak at the United Nations environmental programme on the need to fund conservation from the bottom up to engender local people protecting their environment and the wildlife they share it with. This is connects to my overall passion to create an organization for youth to be involved in conservation efforts using natural science like zoology, ecology, anthropology, etc. By supporting me you are helping my mission to fight for a better world.
