Tell us about your International Experience trip. Where did you go? What was your favorite part?

Being selected for the Global Social Entrepreneurship elective course in Kenya during Spring 24 was nothing short of life-changing. Stepping foot on African soil for the first time was an unforgettable experience. This elective wasn't just about learning in a classroom; it was about immersive, hands-on engagement. Collaborating within teams, we undertook a pro-bono consulting project alongside local Social Ventures in Kenya. The opportunity to work directly with these ventures allowed us to gain invaluable insights into their processes and connect deeply with stakeholders. I was impressed by the similarities between Kenya and my homeland, Peru, particularly in the vibrant startup and entrepreneurship ecosystems. Witnessing the shared passion for leveraging technology to address pressing social issues in developing nations was inspiring. The parallels I observed have equipped me with a wealth of best practices that I'm eager to implement back home, contributing to the ongoing pursuit of a better world. This experience was a profound journey of growth at the intersection of business and society. Moreover, the bonds forged within my team, from Jackson, YSE, and SOM, have become enduring friendships that I hold dear and that will endure far beyond our time in Kenya.
