Hi there! I am currently pursuing a political affairs internship at the Borgen Project. I am absolutely delighted to be involved in such a wonderful organization which embodies the belief that ‘as long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest’. – Mandela. This idea truly aligns with my ambitions of endeavoring to tackle major global inequality, which is catalyzed by my work here at the Borgen Project. The Borgen Project’s 4 initiatives are to advocate, mobilize, educate, and build awareness which is evident in recent successes such as its ‘youth economic empowerment in Iraq’. A key part of my role is fundraising to maintain support for those in need. You can donate here, all contributions are so greatly appreciated and truly change lives. Thank you!
