Sean from Columbia University

I was interested in continuing my use of Bahasa Indonesia while attaining useful experience over the summer. I found that my time here was non-stop, which gave me the opportunity to see new places, meet many new people, and work on several new projects. I was even given the opportunity to present to a group of villagers in Sudaji on Climate Change (In Bahasa Indonesia). Through my time with RACI, there are a number of new skills that I can add to my resume as well as numerous opportunities to see and experience places such as Sudaji, Nusa Penida, and Flores.

RACI has brought together an extremely diverse group of individuals from many different countries and backgrounds. All of these people bring different perspectives and areas of expertise, but their drive towards improving the local environment, sustainability, and development of Bali and anywhere else they help out is unquestionable. This program allows interns to collaborate collectively with their peers as well as with established men and women in these fields. Also, the biggest strength of RACI is the amount of local participation that is in all of the projects. RACI believes in only doing the jobs that cannot be done easily without their help.”
