Women's & Children's Rights Placement
"I worked in Guatemala with a NGO for almost 3 months and loved every minute of it. I worked in their development office focusing on women's and children’s rights. I held a workshop on Period Poverty, and completed a funding application that saw the charity awarded 40,000 US dollars."
