I am going to Arequipa to work as an intern for the NGO Svalorna Latinamerika. Svalorna is a Swedish NGO that supports long-term, capacity building efforts in Peru, Bolivia and in Nicaragua and work together with local organizations in carrying out the projects or programs. My role will be primarily to work with information; I will write articles for Svalorna's home page (http://www.svalorna.se), write entries for the intern's blog (http://www.svalorna.blogspot.com), write somewhat more journalistic articles for http://www.latinamerika.nu as well as running this blog (although it will be more of a spare time project).
I will also be involved in the evaluation and planning of the programs that Svalorna is responsible for, although the other intern, Ida, will probably be more involved in this than I am. Right now is a very exciting time to go because the office in Peru is in the process of finishing and evaluating a program that has been running from 2006-2011 and about to start up a new one come 2012.
The purpose of this blog is both to blog about my job and about my journey in itself. Hopefully you'll get to see some of the marvels and challenges I'll meet through this blog.
