What Dan’s Doing Post-South Africa
Posted by Daniel Armanios, Former Global Development Intern
I found that South Africa, especially in the Eastern Cape, suffers from water scarcity, which inadequate infrastructure has exacerbated. My goal is now to help rural communities self-develop infrastructures they can locally manage to ensure a sustainable water supply. This goal directly emanated from what I saw on-the-ground in Manyeleti. Through it all, I realized that all peoples share one common value: a sunny and indefatigable human spirit.
I am currently finishing my second year of a Rhodes Scholarship where I am completing a MSc in Water Science, Policy, and Management at the University of Oxford. Once I complete this degree, I likely will pursue a PhD in Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University in hopes of pursuing a professional career as an academic and rural enterprise developer.
