Hello Bill!
Thanks for reaching out. I have started my fellowship working as a Princeton in Asia Fellow in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. I am the Development Coordinator at AIP Foundation, Asia's lead road traffic non-profit. This was why I wanted to defer my scholarship for a year.
It has been fantastic; they truly are changing the sphere of road safety in south-east Asia and the world. I get to work closely with our Cambodia office, where one of our primary goals is to make sure that Women's Garment workers get safe and legal transport to and from work. I also work with my team to create child safety and helmet safety programs.
I have only been here for a month, but it has been great. I was sharing with a Co-worker about Rotary in Saigon. Once I am more settled, hopefully, we can work on a project together.
I also just moved into my apartment, and I would love to host you or any fellow Houston Rotarians if they are ever in town. I shall send you pictures in a separate email.
I hope you are doing well!
Fatou
