Social change, human rights, environmental justice, sustainable development, Brasil, photography, inspiration and a bit of rage all rolled up in to one. Come see "the world through my eyes".
About Me
- Moz4
- Portland, Oregon, United States
- I have lived, worked or traveled in 27 countries. I taught English in Mozambique with the Peace Corps and after I complete my 27 months service I taught photography to 11 children between the ages of 13 and 18. In February I finished my Master of Arts in Intercultural Service, Leadership and Management at the School for International Training (SIT). To complete this I did two six month internships. The first was in South Africa where I enhanced my training and fundraising skills working as an HIV/AIDS Consultant and second in Brasil where I improved the skills and also worked closely with the local community worked as Program Coordinator. In February, 2008 I presented my capstone (thesis) paper at my SIT and on May 31, 2008 I walked at graduation.
