Hey guys, so I ended up going to the working abroad fair a few weeks back with some of my friends from fro, it was an incredible experience. I’m planning on minoring in Japanese, so off the bat I was really excited that they had programs to work in japan during or after college. My favorite by far is the JET program, which is a program available in your senior year where you spend a year in japan on a visa neither either an assistant teacher, helping kids learn English. While the other  position is working in the goverment as a interpreter. Both of the positions seemed really cool so I signed up to get more information about it. It just sucks that I won’t be able to do any of this until my senior year. While I began to circulate around the fair I also seen this stand for project abroad. At projects abroad table there were many different flyers of how to help in countries like Nepal, Kenya,Mexico and Fiji, just to name a few. I decided to pick up two pamphlates, one of them being called care. The care program would mean someone traveling to a country they choose among the ones provided in the back cover to the pamphlets and going to help in care centers , work in kindergartens, so orphanage work, work with kids with special needs, help with elderly care or work with kids who are HIV/AIDS positive. While the other pamphlet was called conversation and environment, within this pamphlet it listed countries like Cambodia, Costa Rica, Peru etc. where you can go and do marine conservation, Amazon rainforest conservation, sea turtle and coastal conservation among other conversations. I picked these two flyers because it’s something that I would be interested in, but I am also able to get my friends to help join because of their love for taking Care of animals ESPECIALLY Sarah. My experience at the work abroad fair helped shape my career better, and helped me so what are my options during my college career and the requirements that I would need to do in order to get into any abroad program.
