first of all, i am loving working at world vision. i think it is such a great opportunity to dive into an organization that cares so deeply about the heart of God and the oppressed. the things that they talk about are so beautifully displayed in the bible- that it makes my heart pound with passion. i love my position- summer student of the governance dept. i find everything that i am learning extremely interesting and applicable- so that's good! my co-workers are awesome and we have devotions daily as a team. i have become friends with all the other interns and i must say we have a good bunch :)
on another note, i was just thinking of how much i like melanne verver. if some of you don't know her check her out- here is her bio. i had the opportunity to hear her at one of the first hearings on the international violence against woman's act on the senate side with john kerry. the way she conducts herself and presses forward with the cause of women rights is commendable.
in other news... check on these websites. they are intriguing, interesting, and things that i want to get more involved with/more educated on.
Vital Voices
Council on Foreign Relations
Women's Foreign Policy Group
i wish i was at this hearing. guess i will have to listen to it on webcast.
