Coming to the Kroc School has helped me gain the practical skills for conflict analysis in conjunction with international negotiations. Now, when I see injustice, I feel compelled to speak up because I have the background and the context to deal with it. – Elizabeth Spangenberg

En route back from Yaiti currently in Miami Airport. This is an epic view from the trip as we mingled with the Haitian students we worked with on the USAID project. Their presence and interactions is what made the experience that much more enriched and dynamic. We’re all reflecting and processing the trip at the moment and looking forward to expressing how it was for us as we readjust to being back in the states. Thanks to Topher, Miranda and Athena (The head of the school we stayed at in Yaiti) for facilitating this trip!
The wonderful mayor of Tabarre ! Today we had an amazing meeting at the mayors beautiful office in Tabarre, a newly established commune that in the past 2 years has improved immensely in its distribution of services. We met with the mayors team and USAiD’s implementation partner Lokal+ that provides support to the communication of municipal services. The goal is to improve transparency , efficiency and sustainability of services. Also the mayor was an actress ! #krocschool #shapingabetterworld
