I knew this placement would be the perfect opportunity to work along side professionals in international develop as I would learn and develop knowledge and skills to help the most vulnerable communities in the world.

Furthermore, I have enjoyed seeing the positive implications that MWH projects has had especially seeing the children enjoy their lessons!.
