Hi everyone!
Our section meeting today left me feeling really sad that I do not get to see all you wonderful people anymore =( . I think we all learned from each other this semester and I for one would personally like to continue to learn more about your practice experiences as they go on. That being said, for my practice experience my organization, Nest, requires all their summer fellows to keep a blog in which we share what we are experiencing in our practice sites and what dilemmas we are faced with. As we have been preparing for our fellowships we have been given prompts to respond to that put us into the frame of mind of what we will be doing over the summer. If your organization doesn't have such a requirement, I would encourage you to share your experiences here as I am sure the entire class would like to see as well.
So if you are interested, follow my blog, {Nest}ed Interest, as I prepare and then take part in what I expect to be an amazing experience working with Nest and Trade Africa in Nairobi, Kenya! And check out the beautiful ethically sourced jewelry and clothing available on their blog and website.

Nest's Mission (taken from their website, link above):
A nonprofit dedicated to identifying and collaborating with responsible artisan businesses through the provision of customized capacity building programs to enable each enterprise to become profitable and have a significant positive social impact. We have searched globally to identify a network of existing artisanal workshops that have strong leadership, are scalable, and can transform their communities in one of three ways: alleviate poverty, empower women, and promote peace. Through a participatory model, we will work with the artisans to provide the services they need to both preserve and enhance artistic traditions and increase their ability to meet the capacity and quality demands of the exporting marketplace.
Take care y'all!
