Dear friends and family,
We all know education and real life experiences would not be complete without one another. Therefore, I am excited to share my news about a real life learning experience that I have been selected to be a participant of. For the spring of 2011, I have been chosen to be a part of a special internship program in the Cook Islands with the Political Science/Pacific Island Studies department(s) at BYUH.
Many of you have shown confidence and support time and time again in my educational efforts and I am reaching out to you at this time for some financial support with this new opportunity. My goal is to reach $2000, and I am attempting to reach this by 28 April, 2011.
For my Internship, I will be assigned to work in the Office of the Minister of Education, Marine Resources & Tourism, under the supervision of Honorable Teina Bishop. I will be receiving instruction through His chief administration officer, Mr. George Turia, an experienced leader who was previously an executive administrator of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of New Zealand.
I will undergo a high profile work experience and will be placed in an office in the center of Avarua, the foremost district on the island of Rarotonga, the national capital of the Cook Islands.
A numerous amount of you are aware that the focus of my studies has been in the Pacific Islands. As such, this experience will serve to strengthen not only my knowledge of Oceania, but will create a strong foundation in the field, producing a springbord for future educational endeavors.
I have established a PayPal account linked to my familyʻs blog for convenience. The blog website is located in the left column. If you are uncomfortable with the internet in situations such as these, my address is provided in the left column as well. As a thank you for your support, I will be sending you a piece of a Pareu (a commonly worn screen printed fabric) with your surname.
In regards to PayPal and the blog website: a yellow “donate” icon has been attached at the top of the blog, under the “ocean” picture. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to contact me if any questions need to be answered.
Thank you in advance for your support,
Brian P. Dawson
