Internship with the Mountain Societies Development Support Programme

shrummer16 has recently finished an undergrad at the University of Guelph, she is now in Tajikistan for an 8-month internship with the Aga Khan Foundation.

Contrary to some colleagues’ warnings, Heidi and I are having a blast living with a Tajik family in one of the micro-districts. It’s a huge bonus being surrounded by the local language, culture, and way of life on the home front, which is quite different from the workplace and (obviously) different still from being out on the town with local friends.

There are photographs and video at her blog.
