    I have been looking forward to sharing my experience from a recent trip to Algeria as part of the Legacy International, World Learning Algeria and U.S. Department of State reverse fellowship opportunity. Stepping foot on my ancestral continent of Africa for the first time was both spiritual and magical. I was so blessed and fortunate to be hosted by the incredible World Learning Algeria team and the country of Algeria left a lasting impression on me. I met so many wonderful people and my travel mates Kathryn Adabonyan and Taylor Kampia ensured there wasn't a dull moment. I want to thank Chas Moore and Ishia Lynette Adams for nominating me for this opportunity and Saada BERDJOUH and Saber Guedjiba for welcoming me to their beautiful country. Thank you! #j4education #globaltraveler #africa #algeria

    That's a wrap on the Spring 2024 Professional Fellows Program! For six weeks, 30 young professionals from Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia took the initiative to enhance their professional skills, learn about American culture while sharing their own, and improve their local communities. The Fellows were placed in Austin, Texas, Detroit, Michigan, or Washington, DC during the fellowship, where they worked with a local host organization to complete various projects. Thank you to all host organizations for hosting a Fellow, this transformative experience would not be possible without you! The Professional Fellows Program for Economic Empowerment in the Middle East and North Africa is an initiative of the U.S. Department of State and implemented by Legacy International. #ExchangeOurWorld #ECAGlobalLeaders #CreateaLegacy U.S. Department of State
