Rachel Wynn ’12 (second from right) and Becky McDowell (Brandeis University '11, far left), completed a six-week summer internship in Arusha, Tanzania. They helped the Nazareth Women’s Group raise funds to buy cows, goats, and chickens. “Becky and I came up with the idea of a cookbook of their traditional food,” Wynn said. “We had 25 books bound and gave them the CD in order for them to re-print more copies. We taught them about developing business relationships, budgeting, and cost and profit calculations.” History Prof. Frank Chiteji, a Tanzanian, was Wynn’s adviser. Photo by Geoffrey Komba
