Located in the Yatsugatake Highlands in Kiyosato, Yamanashi, Japan, KEEP is an economic and community development project rooted in Christian faith. The Kiyosato Educational Experiment Project (KEEP) began in 1938 as a Christian Camp and Leadership Center called Seisen Ryo. Incorporated 10 years later, KEEP was founded on four ideals: Food, Health, Faith, and Hope for Youth. KEEP introduced and encouraged dairy farming in 1947 as a viable solution for the local challenges of high altitude agriculture. KEEP continues promoting and teaching sustainable farming techniques to this day. Early projects at KEEP included establishing St. Andrew’s Church, a Nippon Sei Ko Kai parish (the Anglican Church in Japan); a rural health clinic; a community library; an experimental farm; an agricultural training school; and St. John’s Nursery School. Paul Rusch, KEEP’s founder, cast the vision of grassroots self-help community development and saw KEEP as a school for community leadership and democracy.

KEEP has grown to include environmental advocacy work and international outreach. KEEP provides a place for educational and cultural exchange between people of different backgrounds, languages, cultures, and religions to create and strengthen mutual ties dedicated to community development. KEEP has annually welcomed trainees and college interns from outside Japan since 1982. Students have come from Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. In 1988, KEEP initiated a community development project in Tulgao, a mountain village in the northern Philippines, including agricultural, medical, and educational aspects.

KEEP aims to realize a sustainable society existing in harmony with nature. The initial activities envisioned by Paul Rusch have evolved over decades. But the mission has remained constant: to offer program participants and visitors alike a new perspective, a stronger spirituality, a deeper cultural understanding, a richer appreciation for the ties that bind all people, and an opportunity to learn valuable agricultural, environmental, and community building skills.

KEEP provides programming for all ages from preschool children to seniors. Both Japanese and international visitors can enroll in educational programs on the environment, farming, and cross-cultural understanding in day programs or overnight camps. Last fiscal year, more than 32,400 people participated in educational programs at KEEP. Over 130,350 people visited KEEP’s 3 museums. Approximately 1 million tourists visited KEEP during the year. The annual Paul Rusch Festival in October regularly attracts 50,000 fairgoers during the weekend. KEEP’s impact is not limited to Japan, but reaches worldwide as international visitors return home and share the knowledge gained at KEEP.

Internship Description:

Interns in the Environmental Education Department will assist KEEP staff with program development and implementation. Summer season is very busy in the Yatsugatake Highland with many people visiting our nature museums. Interns will assist museum staff and learn about KEEP’s approach to promoting environmental stewardship. KEEP offers visitors experiential programs to connect them with nature, thereby inspiring people to work to preserve and protect the environment. Duties will include assisting programs held in the forest and fields on KEEP property. Same sex dorm accommodations with other KEEP staff and interns.

Company Information
Since leaving office, President Clinton has been committed to addressing poverty and health inequalities at the global level. He recognized the vital role the Clinton Foundation could play in expanding access to life-saving medicines and in helping developing countries systematize their approach to HIV/AIDS treatment. As a result, he launched the Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative (CHAI) in 2002, the first and the cornerstone initiative of the Foundation. Today, CHAI is helping dozens of countries and hundreds of thousands of people in the developing world access high-quality, low-cost care and treatment.

Within CHAI, we have two main branches of work. We ensure access to treatment by finding cost-effective means of treating people living with HIV/AIDS. This involves negotiating lower costs for essential medicines and laboratory tools, and helping governments to access these pricing agreements. In order to ensure that countries have the capacity to administer these commodities, we work on the ground in 22 countries to support governments in the development of HIV/AIDS care and treatment programs for vulnerable populations, particularly children and those living in hard-to-reach, rural areas.

Internship Description:

Possible placement locations include:  Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Vietnam, Ukraine, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago.

 

The intern can state on her application the country of preference for the internship. However, ultimate country placement will be determined by the Clinton Foundation.

The ILO was created in 1919, as part of the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I, to reflect the belief that universal and lasting peace can be accomplished only if it is based on social justice.  As the world’s only tripartite multilateral agency, the ILO is dedicated to bringing decent work and livelihoods, job-related security and better living standards to the people of both poor and rich countries. It helps to attain those goals by promoting rights at work, encouraging opportunities for decent employment, enhancing social protection and strengthening dialogue on work-related issues.

The year 2009 is significant in many ways for the International Labour Organization (ILO). It is the 90th anniversary of the founding of the ILO, the 10th anniversary of its gender equality action plan and the year the International Labour Conference (ILC) will hold a general discussion on “Gender Equality at the Heart of Decent Work”.

In the lead-up to this discussion, the ILO is launching a global campaign on gender equality and the world of work. The objectives of this campaign are:

  • increase general awareness and understanding of gender equality issues in the world of work;
  • highlight the specific linkages between gender equality and securing decent work for all women and men;
  • promote the ratification and application of key ILO gender equality labour standards; and
  • advocate the importance of overcoming existing barriers to gender equality as beneficial for all.

The campaign is built around twelve Decent Work themes. These themes will be looked at through a gender lens, showing how various issues may affect women and men differently in their access to rights, employment, social protection and social dialogue. It is a one-year campaign, starting in June 2008 and ending in June 2009. The themes will be unveiled on this website throughout the year. For each of the campaign themes, an information brief will be made available, accompanied by a poster and a postcard. Events may be organized by ILO offices in different regions throughout the year.

The campaign actively reaches out to ILO constituents and the general public. For example, the campaign supports:

  • Activities around the 12 themes undertaken by governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations;
  • Efforts made by women’s associations, gender equality civil society groups and various academic gender and labour institutions to highlight the key issues;
  • Sharing of experiences, stories, video footage, photographs, and facts illustrating gender equality and/or gender-based discrimination in the world of work;
  • Promoting gender equality and decent work stories through local media and press, for example written articles, radio programmes or local television featuring special programmes.

 

Internship Description:

 

The intern at the ILO will work in a very dynamic field office, and be supervised by the Gender Specialist. She will work on the above described campaign, particularly in the production of national briefing sheets, articles and materials adapted to the Central America context. To do so, she will make use of the available research produced by the research department of the ILO-Subregional Office (Observatorio Laboral) as well as thematic reports such as the regional research on Women, Work and family responsibilities, subregional study on Youth Employment and others.

Excellent written and oral communication skills

Interest on gender and labour issues

Personality:

The Organização das Mulheres de Cabo Verde (OMCV) was founded in 1981 and is the principal women’s organization in the country. It has offices in all 14 districts of Cape Verde. The OMCV aims to promote the rights of women and their fuller participation in the democratic process of Cape Verde, to gain economic sustainability, and to educate themselves in health matters.

OMCV’s impact is felt at several levels as it providesmany services in addition to information about and training in women’s rights, including: literary programs and activities which reinforce literacy; offers skills training (e.g. sewing, typing, basic computer skills, commercial baking); promotes family planning (targeted particularly at 15 to 19-year-olds); undertakes health education, including education about HIV/AIDS; gives loans to women for income-generating activities; runs work day care centers for 4 to 6 years olds; and provides information about environmental issues. OMCV has planned exchange visits to Brazil and Portugal to study methods of transforming and training women about their rights.

Since March of 2000, OMCV has provided more than 400 loans totaling $214,458 to over 270 families, achieving a loan repayment rate of 99 percent. During the 12 months ending in October of 2001, OMCV collected $23,332 in interest and fees, against operating expenses of $22,555 — demonstrating steady progress toward operational sustainability. Its microcredit activities have also provided a credible platform to address its community development goals, such as literacy training, health promotion, and AIDS prevention counseling. The National Microcredit Steering Committee endorsed OMCV’s approach and the NGO has been actively engaged in legislative discussions about the role of civil society organizations in micro-credit
services.

Internship Description:
Cape Verde is an archipelago composed of ten islands. It is only slightly larger than Rhode Island, and located 385 mi (500 km) west of Senegal. The intern will work with the staff in the Praia office. Praia is a city of approximately 100,000 inhabitants.
The OMCV runs several HIV/AIDS programs, including prevention and education, psychological support for families, work with community leaders. One intern will work in the HIV/AIDS prevention and education area.
The second intern will work on the microfinance area of OMCV. In 1999, with support from the African Development Foundation, OMCV created a new microfinance department, and with ACDI/VOCA assistance OMCV began to unlearn bad lending practices and adopt new procedures that will lead to sustainability. Previously, OMCV had disbursed loans to urban and rural women microentrepreneurs at very low rates of interest and with an unsustainable level of loan recovery.

Rubisadt Foundation – Anchor Point Internship in Global Leadership (Douala, Cameroon) November 18, 2008

Posted by cwslibrary in Africa, Anchor Point Internship in Global Leadership, Juniors, Summer 2009, advocacy, education, french, laboratory, nonprofit, research, science, sophomores, women.
comments closed

Rubisadt Foundation, a non-profit association launched in 2000 by Doctor Florence Tobo Lobe, a scientist, a former senior lecturer and an independent researcher. A Wellesley College alumna class of 1969, Dr. Lobe holds a PH.D in organic chemistry from Paris XI University (Orsay). Dr. Lobe is a native of Cameroon where she dedicates herself in promoting girls’ interest in science & technology education.

The Rubisadt Foundation provides talented, high school age African girls with supplementary schooling and training with an emphasis on Science and Technology. Rubisadt’s teaching team is trained in “new” (western) methods and didactics to enhance the process of learning. Specifically, we encourage reasoning instead of copying, decision making instead of following, and students who are seeking to make a contribution. This pedagogy is particularly useful for helping girls successfully develop their skills in the pursuit of college level education, both locally and abroad. Rubisadt prepares its students to compete for jobs and projects in S&T implementation.

The target groups Rubisadt serves are young girls, 12 to 19 years, who are presently attending high school, displaying good performance and analytical ability, and a keen interest in science and technology. Additionally, we look for active parental participation (written commitment, attendance at monthly meetings, supporting study time and engaging in ongoing supportive dialogue with their daughters and the leadership program). Rubisadt offers supplementary education, as well as, other resources in order to reduce early drop-out rate from school and help girls build self-esteem, self assessment, and self learning.

To date, Rubisadt has trained and mentored over a hundred young girls with outstanding results locally as well as internationally. The most brilliant ones were accepted abroad at HEC and ESSEC (Paris), as well as Medical Schools in Cameroon, Yaounde’s ICAC, Benin, Mali, Management in Tunisia, and IUFM de Créteil (France).

Rubisadt’s belief is that the development of Cameroon will be achieved only when the gender inequality in access to education is removed. This equality will be accomplished when the majority of the population (women) will quantitatively and qualitatively be present in all the disciplines and cycles of educational attainment.

Internship Description:

After the intern is selected, she will outline for the foundation which fields interest her, which training levels she has and in which ways she wants to contribute, so that she will be able to lead both scientific and laboratory tasks upon her arrival in Cameroon. She will also help propose working didactic laboratory tools and working models from local material as well as/ or from rehabilitated waste products, stressing their application here.

The intern may also do research on the efficiency of the didactic tools, simulation games and new methods to be used here in regards to their local application. The intern will be also asked to report on the education gap and how this inhibits students’ understanding of scientific concepts.

Ideal Internship Qualification:

Logistical:

Background in Sciences, with knowledge of laboratory techniques.

Students must have some knowledge of French.

 

Personality:

Independent

Kapatiran (which means “Sisterhood/Brotherhood” in Tagalog, the national language of the Philippines) is a private, non-profit organization created by the Tokyo Diocese of Nippon Sei Ko Kai (Anglican Church of Japan) in 1988 to address a variety of issues faced by Filipino migrants in Japan. The Tokyo Diocese provides the organization with very modest office space on their grounds in central Tokyo. The office has a small staff, most of whom work part time. Kapatiran’s telephone counseling lines are open two days a week for counseling in Tagalog and Japanese. The calls received are mostly from Filipino women in distress such as those who are victims of domestic violence; migrants who have overstayed their visa and others who need counselling. Many callers require legal, medical and other forms of assistance and Kapatiran counsellors and caseworkers help them access available resources. Kapatiran is completely independent of Japanese government funding and relies on donations from Christian churches and individual donors.

Internship Description:

Kapatiran is looking for a student with a strong interest in human rights’ issues and a commitment to peace, justice and gender issues.

People at Kapatiran share their desks and all the organization duties—no job, big, or small, is beyond their responsibility. Interns will be able to observe day – to – day operation of a migrant support organization run by dedicated people.The intern will help around the office in all areas: assist with counselors with their cases; assisting the office staff in general duties, including any research, writing, or outreach.
