Before Leaving

Elsa

After finishing high school, I spent a couple of month in England as an au pair. Back in France, I incorporated the human sciences university in Strasburg through a Applied Foreign Languages licence where I’ve been specialised in english and spanish translation.

During the following years, I wandered between studies, travels and jobs.

In 2004, after having spent several months in Peru in a local association project, I have decided to get deeper into the humanitarian programs management through a master entitled « Crisis analysis and humanitarian action » in the Savoie University, Chambery.

I completed this course in 2007 thanks to an internship in the french NGO « Comité d’Aide Médical » for which I’ve worked 6 months in its Centrafrican Republic  mission as an administrator.

And now, here I am !

After a couple of years in computer sciences studies in Reims, I studied in the University of Teesside, England to get deeper into my training with a Bachelor of « International Business and Information Technologies ».

Quickly after this course, I get bored of this environment, so I decide to go living with an african family in Ghana for 6 months while teaching french to kids at school. This experience has been the starting point of a very deep love story with the black continent.

Back to France, I incorporated the International School of Business and Development 3A which is specialised in Southern countries issues. It first took me in Madagascar through a microfinance internship, then, in 2007, in the headquarters of the french NGO « Première Urgence » specialised in emergency crisis in Africa and Asia.

Next, as an administrator, I’ve done several missions in Ituri, Katanga, North Kivu (Democratic Republic of Congo) and then, in Georgia for the last august 2008’s crisis.

And now, on the road again.
