Additionally, they saw people come and destroy the mountainsides using explosives. These stories also revealed an unpleasant side of humanity—testimonies that social injustice and inequality are alive and kicking. That said, I would lie in bed at night feeling emotions of vulnerability I have never felt before. Eventually, I reminded myself that it is precisely these emotions of discomfort and vulnerability that have revealed the crucial nature of my participation in social justice advocacy and the need to travel in order to further understand the complexities of our world. This particular experience has inspired me to be more motivated and courageous in the decisions I make.
Now that classes are over, all the students in my program are required to do one month’s worth of research or to pursue an internship in Nepal or India. I made the decision to pursue an internship with an international non-profit and non-government affiliated organization call iProbono, in New Delhi, India. The mission of iProbono is to protect the most vulnerable communities and to secure equal access to justice and opportunity. I will be in New Delhi for the next month, after which I will go back to Kathmandu where I will submit my final paper and give a final presentation.
Thank you for reading!
