International Development and Nonprofit Management Intern

“Dzeno Association is a non-profit network of individuals concerned with Romany rights in Prague. On my first day in the office, I began work on a grant proposal for the Soro's Foundation, Open Society Initiative.  I am currently editing two research papers on Romani initiatives and will be conducting interviews, writing articles and doing a bit of fundraising and website maintenance for the rest of the summer.  Living in Prague is amazing!”
