Review for Foundation for Sustainable Development, Oakland, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I interned with FSD with an orphanage in Kakamega. My experience there was one of the most rewarding in my life. I was able to work on the ground with issues I had spent so much time reading about. Our country director Peter was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. Through talks with him and our program coordinator, I was able to explore many different projects during my three month stay. As a political science major, I was amazed I was able to start a sewing project and have meetings with people about special needs and agricultural planning. The funding that made my project possible came from an FSD grant. It feels great to be a part of an organization that is doing so much good good in so many sectors and countries.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

my time on the ground in Kenya. I have also continued to see the work that they do through email updates.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

motivated intelligent people.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

fund even more volunteer projects.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2007

Role:  Volunteer & I was a community development worker placed at an orphanage in Kenya.
