Ashlie Williams and Chessie Merrill

ICA welcomes two new interns for the next two months, Ashlie and Chessie. Ashlie is a senior from Brown University majoring in Development Studies and Chessie is a senior at the University of Washington studying Political Science and Philosophy. 

Ashlie was previously in Kenya at the end of 2010 on a study abroad program, she fell in love with the people and culture of Kenya and we are happy she has returned to work with us in Kibera. She is looking forward to working with us, she will be working with Steve and Andrew on the Eagle Project, and with Ken and Sabina on the Mr/Miss Kibera project. 

Chessie has never been to Kenya and is looking forward to getting to know the country, we are doing our best to make her feel very welcome. She will be working with Osewe on ICA's social media, developing our community museum and assisting Tonny/Osewe in development of monthly themes for Jumuia Zalendo.
