2009-2010 Fellows Update

 

Several of our newest class of PiAfers (which now consists of 25 Fellows who will work with 14 different organizations in 16 countries) have already departed for Africa to begin their fellowships. For more information about our new Fellows—including pictures, bios, and where they have been placed—click here.

One of our new Fellows, Allison Williams ‘09, says, “I knew when I accepted the Princeton in Africa fellowship it would provide me with an experience that would change my life. I am very excited about starting my post at the Mpala Wildlife Foundation in Kenya, which is in arguably one of the most beautiful places on earth. PiAf has given me the opportunity to face new challenges, meet new people, and enjoy different cultures and I can not wait to begin!”
