The Philippines

For my internship, I joined Community Empowerment for Rural Development (CEFORD) in Arua, West Nile Region, northern Uganda. I also teamed up with a Ugandan Artist and a South Sudanese refugee; together, we published a children’s storybook called Asiteza (Take Heart), which aims to promote peaceful coexistence between refugees and host communities in the West Nile. This project was made possible through the GLOCAL Internship grant.
