First Impressions

My mentor first and last name is Fela Pierre Louis, she's like supervisor. She's nice. The environment that work on is quiet,and full of nice people that like to help. My first thoughts when I first started my internship is what will they people think of me, are they going to yell at me, are they going to be mean with me. Make me do things that I can't do. The tree jobs that I started doing in my internship are typing, translating, organizing papers (putting them in the right orders). Well everyday we have different jobs, so I don't know I could I be specific with you. The most challenging part of my internship is translating a bunch of papers in Haitian Creole, it's not that easy to do because some words have different meaning. I learned how working in a Office is helpful.

1.How come I don't see woman who have been violated coming to Dwa fanm?

2. Does this organization exist in other cities besides New York? If so, Which Cities?

3. What is the primary goal of the organization?

When I ask Ms.Fela about the Primary goal of Dwa Fanm, she explained to me that the main goal are to help and supporting Women, Teens, Adults whose from any country with violation of Human Rights(Violence). Also my mentor (Fela) said  that Organization Dwa Fanm( Rights For Woman) does not exist in other cities, because they are the only Dwa Fanm that she knows that's all she could think of.

What I Am Video. New Version By: Farah's!! So check it out :)

Verse 1
If what I am is what's in me
Then I'll stay strong - that's who I'll be
and I will always be the best
"me" that I can be.

There's only one me, I am it

It's up to me to try. 
Chorus 1
Oh! I'm a keep my head up high
Keep on reaching high
Never gonna quit
I'll be getting stronger.

And nothing's gonna bring me down (no!)
Never gonna stop, gotta go.
Because I know

 Bridge 1
And what I am is enthusiastic
what I am is singer
what I am is adorable
and what I am is friendly
what I am is optimistic
what I am is special
There's nothing I can't achieve.
Because in myself I believe in oh...

Internship Goals


"It shows children that is learning and playing" I'm happy for them because they are happy!
My goals for internship is to learn new words that I don't know each day and to improve my speaking skills when I'm speaking with people. My knowledge that I want to gain is to make my mind work a little  bit more and to think straight, to do a great job wherever I go. I hope to gain writing skills, and speaking skills because I want to be confident about myself when I have those skills if I go somewhere. Based on my interview, the work that I will do is helping people for example: women,children, teenage girls, who been treated with violence throughout their lives,and to give them a safe place for them to live,and talk those people about what I can do for them to be able live in a safe environment without no problems.
