Well this week I bought my plane ticket and got an internship. It has been a big week! I have been placed with Medical Care Development International (to go to their website click
here). I am SO excited about this internship! I am very interested in what they do and hope I can do something to help in their endevours while interning with them. Here is their Mission Statement from their website:
"The mission of MCDI is to enhance the well-being of peoples and communities in developing nations through superior technical assistance in health and socio-economic development. We will seek to empower families with the knowledge and behavior needed to improve infant and child survival and maternal health and care. We develop and disseminate tools, mechanisms and strategies that improve access and management of sustainable levels of health care services. We work with a full spectrum of organizations, from grassroots community groups to multi-lateral donor institutions, to enable continuing and progressive improvement in the quantity and quality of care available and affordable to the neediest people on earth, and seek to enhance their financial ability to benefit from these improvements."

How awesome does this sound? They have many different areas they work in. Some of which are, Child Survival, Architecture and Engineering, Water Supply and Sanitation, and many more. Go look at the website to learn more! I can't begin to express my excitement about this internship!
I am about to begin my last two weeks here in SLC before I move to Washington DC for the semester. A lot has been running through my mind while I've been thinking about this short time I have. Really it is only one week, then I leave for Lake Powell and Yellowstone and leave the morning after I get back! I have been very excited about going out to DC and I still am. But as the time to leave draws closer I have thought a lot about all the things I am going to miss. My great friends I have SO much fun with, who I am going to wear-out I am sure by the end of this week. My parents. The mountains, and with them being able to tell North, East, South, and West. My dog. Fall semester in Chi Omega. Monday Nights. Neighbors. Escape(my car). And much much more!
