Winter Break is a Time of Service for Many HKS Students
Imran Alimohammed, Master in Public Administration (MPA) candidate and vice president of the Kennedy School Student Government, is spending his winter break in Bangladesh working with Friendship, a non-governmental organization (NGO) that focuses on sustainable human development. Specifically, he is studying the viability of an educational project by surveying teachers, students, and administrators, and will complete his commitment by providing his recommendation to the organization in the form of a strategy paper. In January, along with 15 other Harvard students, Alimohammed will travel to Indonesia with the Harvard School of Public Health to contribute to an evaluation of government and NGO responses in the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami in the region.
“I enjoy working with grassroots programs and being able to see the measurable impact that it makes on individuals,” Alimohammed wrote in an email from Bangladesh. “I particularly enjoy working on educational access programs because I feel that providing access to education is one of the vehicles to end global poverty.”
