I have experiences in working with international NGOs in the Peruvian Andes Community, Cebu City in the Philippines, and Japan. I have gained practical knowledge and skills related to various issues surrounding development programs and grassroots movements through my academic studies and work experience in NGOs. Visiting and working in different countries have been eye-opening experiences. It has allowed me to gain a broader perspective to appreciate the importance of understanding interculturalism issues while building on both cooperativeness, and responsibility.
