Thanks to Olivia Baker - Our 2003 Summer Intern
| Olivia grew up in a multi-cultural community
in Sacramento, California, and is currently a Junior at the
University of California in Santa Barbara. Olivia will be graduating
in two years with a B.A. in Global Studies and an emphasis in
European cultures and ideologies. She has been working with
Jagriti International since May, 2003 and hopes to explore
the value of education as a tool for the empowerment of women
in developing countries. She hopes someday to be involved in
international peace relations, and to help bridge the gap between
the Western world and countries that have yet to establish a
peaceful relationship amongst both themselves as well as more
powerful nations. Olivia has worked at Starbucks Coffee Co.
for the past four years, and is in the process of being promoted
to Shift Supervisor. Between slaving away at Starbucks, and
volunteering with Jagriti International, she doesn't have a
lot of spare time. But when she does, she likes to go hiking
in the back country, or play volleyball on the beach. She also
enjoys losing herself in a book whenever she has time to read.
