Senior to take Labouisse to South Africa. Senior
Janelle Wright has been awarded Princeton's 2000-01
Labouisse Fellowship. She plans to use the $15,000 grant to
go to Durban, South Africa, to assist in the establishment
of a community-based development corporation.
Wright's project involves studying
community-based developers to create an informed model for
resident involvement in a proposed corporation in the
Southern Pinetown area. She will work with the Built
Environment Support Group, a nonprofit organization that
focuses on improving the living environment of residents in
urban areas of Kwa-Zulu-Natal.
"The knowledge gained during this
year," she says, "will enable me to transition from a solely
domestic focus to a more international perspective on the
urban development and infrastructure challenges facing
distressed populations around the world."
