This is a reflection on my trip to Prague,CZ as an intern at Slovo 21. One week of orientation, two weeks at the NGO, three weeks to create a project that describes "campaign for social inclusion." Inclusion is for the Roma into the society of Prague. Roma have been excluded in many parts of Europe and we are learning and wanting to create a bit of a change.

Final week: thoughts
I did much research for grant opportunities. I concentrated on linking Slovo with NGOs or grant opportunities in the USA. I also did research to create a day –schedule for a Romani youth camp. I contacted some Lehigh people and from them I obtained a list of ice breakers, activities, reflection points for minority youth who are struggling to appreciate their own culture. I also was lucky enough to tutor a young Romani woman in English. I am able to understand a bit of what the issue of social exclusion is and have realized that it’s the fault of the system and not of the people.
