I just started my internship with TIG’s Tread Lightly program and I couldn’t be happier. I am really happy that I get to write to you guys so that you get to know me and Tread Lightly a little bit more. Tread Lightly is a free climate change education and engagement program offered by TakingITGlobal (TIG), with the generous support of the Staples Foundation for Learning®. Tread Lightly features innovative online educational tools and resources, designed to empower youth to reduce their ecological footprints and take action on climate change. I am so glad to participate in this program because I’ve been always interested in the development of our planet and promoting a greener future. My parents have always love to travel around my country, so since a very young age I got used to travel around a lot. One of my favorite things of travelling is that I get to see the different realities of people. In Peru, specially, I was able to see the different lifestyles and disadvantages that people from my same country had. Seeing this made me want to work on the development field so I decided to study International Development to prepare myself and to be able to create some lasting change. I am currently on my last year of International Development at York University. I am really excited to finish my career because I cannot wait to see what new opportunities to work on the development field may arise. A couple of days ago I finished an internship in London iin an organization called Planet Positive that helps companies reduce their ecological footprint. And now I am working in this incredible program at TIG! I hope everyone is good and working for a greener future!
