This may seem like an odd time to be re-starting my blog, seeing as the semester is coming to a close, and with it my internship in Chicago is also ending. My original goal had been to blog throughout the semester, telling of my experiences in Chicago and what I'd been up to at my internship. Unfortunately that didn't happen, so here I sit in my last week of my internship, blogging about what I wish I had blogged about all semester.
This semester has been an incredible 4 months, and a great chance for me to learn a lot about life, international development, microfinanace, non-profit organizations, and myself. For those who don't know, I spent the semester interning with the Resource Development Department at Opportunity International. I was responsible for writing reports on our microfinance initiatives around the world, doing research on potential new programs, writing stories about our clients, writing proposals for funding, and writing position papers for the organization. It was an awesome experience, and I really appreciated that I was pretty much treated like a member of the staff.
Living in Chicago was also a ton of fun. I'll write more about that later though, for now you can check out the blogging I DID do this semester, as I was the student blogger for Chicago Semester Fall 2010. You can check that our here.
