Com Dev Intern in Abidjan

I literally grew up in Abidjan (1989-1997) and I have community development experience in Namibia (2008). I am passionate about the continent, fully bilingual (French and English) and I have a Master's degree in international relations. I'm excited about this unique opportunity and it is with a humble heart that I state that I am the man for the job. Thanks.
