Top of the World Lookin Down on Creation

I had an interview for PEAT today. What is that?

Well...


PEAT Film from Peter Carroll on Vimeo.

So I want to do that this summer.

Timeline
Oct. 26: Interview
Two weeks laterish: Find out if I am accepted (cross your fingers!)
January-April: Pick my organization and put together an evaluation plan. When I pick my organization, that in turn picks the country I go to
May: Head out for another summer abroad. Like Thailand, but not really. I have a feeling this adventure would make Thailand look like an easy peasy vacation...

It is an incredible opportunity. It lets me put my new skills in sociology, nonprofit management, and international development to work in the most literal and perfect sense. I would live, eat, and breathe the organization I choose for an entire three months to assess their productivity and make them better. What better cause could I ask for?

So I find out in two or so weeks if I am chosen to go. It is a lot harder process because they have great funding options, they have to put a lot into the evaluators that they send out so they are a little more picky. It is a new program but it is quickly getting competitive. Like I said, cross your fingers for me will ya?

Second to "will I get accepted?" my mind can't stop thinking, "where in the world will I go??" Literally WHERE IN THE WORLD. The ENTIRE WORLD. The options are pretty endless. Here are just a few. What would your pick be??

Belize


Fiji


India


Tanzania


Uganda


Ukraine


Jordan



Peru



Luckily I just pick the organization I'll fit best with because I don't think I could EVER make a decision between countries. We live in one beautiful world don't we?!
