THE INTERN'S GLOBAL JOURNEY
Where do interns go after they leave the World Affairs Council? Here's a timely answer:
Ghana.
One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, our 2015 intern Spencer Godine, is teaching leadership through sports in Ghana this summer. The opportunity to teach orphaned children is through the University of Virginia's Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy.
Spencer is a lacrosse player and and volunteer student manager for the University of Virginia Cavaliers football team.

sold-out program for manal al-sharif at krld studios
The Council's sold-out June 20 event with "Daring to Drive: A Saudi Woman's Awakening" author Manal al Sharif brought out an intergenerational audience - but especially young women inspired by Manal's story. Council members, Facebook friends and listeners of KRLD were uplifted, and Manal was equally delighted to meet them.
Just before she went onstage, Ms. al Sharif was interviewed by KRLD NewsRadio 1080. Listen to that interview here.
