I want to change lives, I want to change my life, I want to change the world. That is what brought me to Ascend Alliance headquarters.
Emerson said, "Every man is my superior in some way. In that, I learn of him." I couldn't ask for a better position to be in; I'm surrounded by knowledgeable people from all walks of life and even networked directly to other countries! If ever there was an opportunity to learn as an intern, this is it.
With technology rapidly advancing, we are on the brink of pushing humanitarian service to new limits. The internet has shrunk our planet to what seems to be a small neighborhood; I can instantly see and talk to any one of our offices in the world by the click of a button. As the web dissolves distance barriers, the need for foreign assistance grows ever more apparent as well as the success of our efforts. Through blogs, social networking and streaming video we can literally see who benefits from our programs.
Now is a great time to get involved so check out our expedition schedule and reach out to the people who need it.
