¨I have the opportunity of working in Lima with IPES – Promoting Sustainable Development, an NGO that works towards developing sustainable cities in Latin America and the Caribbean with a special focus on populations in social and economic risk. I’ll be supporting them for 8 months as an Environmental Education Officer, which brings me great excitement as I have a passion for environmental management and sustainability. My mandate will serve as my placement for my bachelor degree in International Development and I am hoping to develop the skills and knowledge I´ve acquired during my program during my time here in Peru.¨
