“Such stark contrasts stare me in the face, wide-eyed, always asking--how did we get here? How do we fix this?, " writes Sangya Gyawali (Cape Town, Summer 2015). "I find hope in the sights of shirtless children playing along roadside filth, lost in innocence. It has got me thinking about the randomness of where we are born and its ability to shape who we become.”

In this Blog Post of the Week, Sangya expresses her initial thoughts and feelings after her first week in South Africa. Read the rest of Sangya’s Blog Post.
