I have always believed that the zip code you are born into should not determine the trajectory of your life. Yet for hundreds of millions of people, it does. As a journalism intern with The Borgen Project, I get to do something about that: turn research into stories that move people to act. Writing has always been how I make sense of the world, and this internship is my chance to make sure the world’s most overlooked stories actually get told. If you have ever felt frustrated watching the news and wishing you could do something, your donation here is that something.
