Abby Hack

I had such a wonderful semester working at the Advocacy Project this
past semester. I had always hoped that I would feel as if I was making
a difference in the world, yet this can often be difficult. However,
from just a few short months working at AP, I am certain that I have
made lasting impressions on the betterment of others. I have helped
people fighting child marriage in Zimbabwe to starting a project to
help women abducted by the Lord’s Resistance Army to tell their
stories through quiltmaking. In many of the meetings, our partners
expressed how thankful they were that we were assisting them, but it
always felt like an honor to provide help. I am so thankful that AP
has given me these different opportunities to become involved in these
different important projects. Beyond projects, working at AP has also
helped me to develop many skills that can be beneficial in any future
job. I am a near whiz at website building and have even learned basic
HTML skills, among many other skills. Thank you to Iain and Mary Ellen
for making my time at AP so worthwhile and phenomenal!
