<\/a>Sagar<\/p><\/div>Through July, he is based in the Bonn, Germany, office, where he will compile a summary analysis of the 2013 Joint Monitoring Program report for the WHO European region, map potential donors and foundations for water health, collect data and literature review on the water-related disease situation in Europe, and update the WHO European Region atlas on water and health.<\/P><\/p>\n
\u201cEurope was my first choice,\u201d said Sagar, who also was accepted to the Nepal WHO office and the United Nations International Children\u2019s Emergency Fund in India. \u201cI am originally from Nepal, which is in South Asia and hence, I do have understanding of public health in that region. I was never exposed to Europe, and that is why it was my first choice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Once he completes his studies and has had significant exposure in the field, his goal is to work with WHO and make a difference in public health.<\/p>\n
While in Europe, Sagar also hopes to visit the WHO regional headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and Copenhagen, Denmark.<\/p>\n
\u201cEventually, I want to work in the global public health areas, so I would like to get exposure to all regions of the world where WHO is working,\u201d Sagar said. \u201cMy next destinations will be Australia and Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be a great internship for him,\u201d said Dr. Jiunn-Jye Sheu, UT associate professor of health education, who is Sagar\u2019s adviser. \u201cIt is the most well-known organization on public health, and he has experience with water sanitation in underdeveloped regions of the world.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sagar found the internship while browsing online and said the application process was a lengthy one. He thanked Sheu and the Center for International Studies and Programs for their help in securing the opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Center for International Studies and Programs at UT is very supportive for those wanting international exposure,\u201d Sagar said. \u201cThe center provided me a travel grant to cover my airfare to Germany, and I am thankful to them as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
