In Accordance with Salaam
Meet Jennifer Harwood, Salaam Program Coordinator from the US, who was in town for a few days to help out with Salaam in the UAE.
For a little backstory on what it is that I am doing here in Dubai please read on :).
AIESEC is a non-profit, non-political, student run, volunteer based platform designed specifically to develop individuals through international exchange of talent. We are proud to say we are the world's largest student run organizations, and among the longest lasting (circa 1948).
After the attacks of September 11, 2001, a young group of passionate individuals got together and decided something needed to be done about the misconceptions and hostile sentiments between the US and the Arab World. What they created was a partnership between AIESEC in the US, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates, and the US Department of State to send youth between the two worlds to gain professional experience and understand of each other's culture.
Today I am working to send Arab nationals to the US and to bring US students to Dubai. In short, I am looking to extend the same like changing opportunity I was afforded in Tunisia to the rest of the eligible population. Eat, Drink, Sleep, Salaam.
