Molly Warren
Cornell University Sophomore
As the literal grassroots of the IEE, our work this summer will hopefully build a solid foundation for English comprehension for both teachers and students, creating a sustainable academic future for Kagugu Primary School. Our goal this summer is for Kagugu to also serve as a model for future school projects in the country and beyond. Ten of the most impressionable years of my life were spent babysitting for a neighborhood family and their three young children. Because of this experience, a large part of me is familiar with childhood development and I have been able to apply this knowledge in a classroom setting here in Rwanda.
The country fascinates me with its unimaginable geography, and the people enthrall me with their strength and their compassion for life despite its recent adversities. My future goals include more volunteer work, possibly through the Peace Corps, and a career in global/international health. I am open-minded, though, and I am willing to experiment with many different opportunities to uncover more of my interests. I am exceedingly thankful for what I know will be a fantastic summer in Rwanda.
