Huzzah! This morning Zach and I were given an assignment for ACAI, to put together a report of refugees from one area of Colombia for the past year or so. We’re to study the situation there, why they left, what assistance they needed when they arrived, and how they’re doing now. There’s been a huge influx from that area over the past year, and it’s showing no sign of stopping, so they want a written report to help them assist the refugees in an efficient manner. I’m excited to have something to do other than essentially job shadow, and Zach is a fellow polisci major, so we’ve done research like this many times.
This weekend we’re off to Puerto Viejo in Limon, which is on the Caribbean coast. I’m pretty excited to go! We leave Friday afternoon, and will get back Sunday night. Until then, I’ll be out of town.
