Friends Reunited

Alyssa made it to D.C. for a weekend before she embarks on a summer long internship with United Students Against Sweatshops in Honduras. She will be living with a Honduran family of women as she visits factories and workers seeking to empower workers often exploited by multinational companies such as shoe and clothing manufacturers.

She may be the most adventurous, driven, and committed young woman I know. We were both at the University of Miami together and participated in many of the same activities, mainly with the student organization Students Toward A New Democracy (STAND) in their effort to support unionizing janitors on campus in the May of 2006.

Here we are at Eighteenth Street Lounge, enjoying the humid evening with cold drinks.
