 I thought I would create this page to allow us to all share our experiences this summer because 1) I'm curious what everyone is up to, 2) I've already had lots of stuff happen which I want to share and 3) I think it could be helpful for us to share what we're learning and perhaps learn more together than any of us is learning individually.

These are just a few of my thoughts and I'm sure I'll be adding more, but I hope people really pick this up.

 All of this is not to suggest that I am not having a positive experience. To the contrary, I'm having a quite enjoyable summer -- minus the long hours and the backbreaking pressure to not have so much as a misspelled word in an email. If nothing else, I'm using this experience to learn: about the legal profession, about myself, and about what interests me.

>		Hello all, I'm spending this summer working for an NGO in Nairobi. The aspect of the internship that I have found most frustrating is the level of bureaucracy and duplication in the arena of public interest/human right's work. Common goals abound, yet so many different organizations, individuals and government departments all act in separate (and at times inconsistent) ways to reach those goals. The organization I am working with recognizes this, and is actively trying to build coalitions to encourage and facilitate efficient activism.

The stories I've heard have been heartbreaking, to be sure, but on some level I find the sloppy attempts at problem solving even more infuriating. Problems may be bad, but not using resources effectively to solve those problems seems even worse.
