Our last intern traveled to Paris to prevent the sexual trafficking of underaged girls.
Another traveled to Rio de Janeiro to educate young women. Based on the edge of a favela, the project targeted girls who were dropping out of school. Instituting a tutoring program, our student helped stem the cycle of poverty.
