Week 13...Last Blog Post :(

Well, as I start my last week in Italy, I am saddened to say that this my last blog post...(I know it is heart-breaking for all of my faithful readers!). Anyway, I had a really good week and I'm in the process of finishing up my internship at the World Food Programme, working on a final report for my supervisor and the WFP. The final report is basically an in-depth look at my experiences, observations, and recommendations for the office. It has been pretty rewarding for me to reflect on my past 3 1/2 months interning...! It will be nice to finish my internship on Wednesday and have a few days to relax before leaving on Saturday night/Sunday morning, back to the "hectic-ness" of moving back to school and class itself. Today, Lara, Agustino, Donato, and Carmelina came over for lunch...Donato is Franco's brother, Carmelia-Donato's wife, Lara-their daughter, and Agustino-Lara's husband. It was really good to see them, I haven't seen them since I was 9! We had a relaxing afternoon and it was nice to catch up.

It's amazing that the summer is coming to an end. This has been quite a journey and experience. I feel much more cultured, mature, patient, and calm. I'm thankful for the opportunity to intern at such an important UN/humanitarian agency, meet some incredible people, travel, and learn a lot about myself. It has been a blessing to be able to live with C+F and everything has worked out perfectly! So, with that, I'll see you all soon!

Con Affetto,

Scott
