My new life at EOI
After one week of starting a master’s program in a foreign country, I realized this experience is meaning for me the most ‘profitable’ pause in my life I am passing through. It doesn´t mean the IMSD is not going to be hard (actually today I realized it’s going to be very hard). But If I look back four weeks ago, I remember myself making appointments, calling at least seven people a day and asking them if I could interview them, travelling to Andean communities or visiting all kind of institutions in order to find good news that may be published in the diary I work for. Well, that was my stressing life until four weeks ago.
Nowadays, I see myself starting a new stage in my life. Like many of my classmates, I am trying to adapt to a new country, trying to make new friends and ‘fit’ in the group. This made me feel anxious in the first days of the program, but then I noticed that the 10 months master’s program at EOI is going to be (if I decide to) the opportunity to make a 180 degree turn in my career.
Yes, I think the IMSD will progressively give me the tools that could help me to further contribute to solve problems in my country like child malnutrition, poverty or the great economic inequalities between rich and poor people. I am also glad to find that my new classmates are also asking all kind of questions related to development issues and looking to lead CSR projects in their respective countries.
Finally, I will like to share two great pictures I took last year. The first one is a typical mother of the Andean of Peru that at that time was learning to improve the way she feeds her baby. The second one is of a girl of the Amazon that was taking care of her little brother.
