“Thanks to the Chancellor's Global Education Fund, I could intern in Guatemala with the education and health care center Familias de Esperanza. My experience opened my eyes to the intimate link between public health, education and well-being internationally – a truly invaluable lesson. It was also my first time abroad!”
