In order to successfully complete the needed requirements to graduate from the International Project Management Program I have accepted a 2 month internship in the exciting metropolis of Winnipeg.... yes, that's right, Winnipeg Manitoba. Don't laugh! I've always said I'll go anywhere I haven't been and I've even been heard saying that I'd go to Winnipeg if I found a cheap flight. Now I get to go somewhere I haven't been and I don't have to pay the airfare!
But once again I'm experiencing that you must be careful what you ask for... I must remember to dream big and boldly so that I may be drenched in the stuff of my dreams, not just taste.
I will start the internship with the Canadian Foodgrains Bank in September. Amongst other things, I have been tasked with conducting a literature review of the current key documents on HIV/AIDS and food aid and food security as well as the current best practices and recommendations of other organizations. I will then assist in revising, creating, and planning evaluation tools and practical guidelines to be used by Foodgrains Bank staff, members and their in-country partners to better address HIV/AIDS and food aid and food security. As this is one of my key areas of interest, it will be a good learning for me. I am looking forward to it.
Happy Canada Day!
