Working Girl

 
  • Well call me Melanie Griffith because I am once again a Working Girl!  (The good kind, Mom. Don't worry.) Got an offer today from WaterAid for a part time Associate position in their International Programmes Department.  The organization works to improve access to clean water and increase sanitation in the poorest parts of the developing world.  They aim to provide both immediate attention (water pumps and sanitary facilities) and more long-term solutions (local education and international awareness).  I will be working with their program managers located throughout Africa and Southeast Asia.  Did I mention it's paid?
  • Ability to pre-spend (limited) future earnings = great.
  • Ability to finally add a non-profit organization to my CV = even better.
  • Ability to be excited about a job because it's finally in a field in which I want a career = amazing.
