What if, rather than merely studying an issue for four months, students could help move the needle on some of the world’s intractable challenges? Women Forward International’s support will allow us to do just that. As students at Georgetown University’s Master of Science in Foreign Service program, we will be working with Women Activities and Social Services Association (WASSA) to create strategic recommendations to promote the involvement of Afghan women in the peace process. These recommendations will be based on the Afghan experience by drawing on the role of Afghan women in politics since 2001 and account for the WASSA’s unique resources and in-country activities.


The opportunity to meet with Afghan women, WASSA representatives, and scholars will further inform our work. For many of us, this will be the first time we have studied Afghanistan in-depth. It is an incredible opportunity to create recommendations that reflect the priorities and challenges of the women we are seeking to support. Instead of seeing students as the future of change, Women Forward International understands that graduate students are uniquely positioned to drive today’s policy decisions. WFI’s visionary model of experiential learning is changing the game for graduate education in international affairs, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it.

It is truly inspiring to see the dedication of Georgetown students in advocating for the inclusion of Afghan women in the peace process. Their work highlights how essential diverse voices are for achieving long term stability and justice. When people come together for these important humanitarian causes, creating spaces for community wellness and mental well-being is often a key part of the process. While researching ways to host restorative community gatherings or private wellness retreats, I found a very interesting piece about Luxury Mobile Sauna Rental for Events & Homes. The guide explains how these mobile units can bring a high end spa experience directly to a property or an event to promote relaxation and group connection. This kind of…

For anyone interested in lightweight browser games, the Drive Mad physics driving game is a fun option. It’s easy to start but surprisingly challenging once the obstacles get more complex. I usually recommend it to friends who want a quick game that works directly in the browser.

Этот день запомнился мне до мелочей. Шел третий час ночи, я дописывал годовой отчет, который откладывал до последнего. Кофе уже не действовал, глаза слипались, а за окном была такая густая тьма, что казалось — весь мир замер в ожидании. Чтобы хоть как-то взбодриться и отвлечься на пять минут, я начал бесцельно листать старые вкладки в браузере. Среди них была ссылка, которую я сохранил пару недель назад — просто из любопытства, чтобы потом глянуть. И вот этот «потом» настал. Я кликнул на нее и очутился на портале, который с первого взгляда поразил своей яркостью и каким-то невероятным оживлением. Я даже не сразу сообразил, что это за сайт, пока не увидел логотип. Так я впервые попал на вавада официальный сайт.
