At its core, World Learning programs are designed to equip people with the tools needed to create a better world. I am often amazed at the things our participants do post-program.

Yesterday was an especially telling day. A recent SIT Study Abroad student, Jessica Posner, was featured in a New York Times op-ed for her work with Shining Hope for Communities in Kenya, and we received a video of a 2011 Experimenter, Donae Owens, introducing President Obama before his annual back-to-school speech.
