Co-op Work Term #1: UBC International Initiative (ISI)

I’m really grateful to have this experience and I’ve learned so much from everyone that I worked with at this position. The most accomplishing aspect of the Co-op term would be the number of connections that I was able to discover and make. It was a wonderful feeling to be able to know the Ambassadors on a more personal level and find out all the mutual connections we have. I've met so many incredible people on this job, everyone on the team is so hardworking, thoughtful and has amazing leaders.

Afghanistan is one of the two countries where polio is still endemic.

Our group's policy intervention from my SPPH 300 class (International Health), proposes an educational and trust-based intervention program to support polio eradication in Nangarhar, Kunar, and Kandahar in Afghanistan.
