The Borgen Project is a non-profit fighting to combat world poverty through advocacy, mobilization, and education.  While striving to downsize poverty as a whole, they also exist to place poverty at the forefront of foreign policy. Did you know approximately 1% of the entire United States’ federal budget goes to foreign aid?  If you would like more detailed information about this organization and its mission, I encourage you to visit their website, www.borgenproject.org.

Please join me as I talk about Global Poverty and the Borgen Project, as well as my experience as both a volunteer and an intern. I hope this is a unique time to foster conversation and speak up for what we believe in.
