"High hopes" by Rosalie Hughes
Rosalie Hughes, a 2007 graduate of Dartmouth College, spent a year working for the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Nepal—thanks in part to support from Dartmouth's Dickey Center for International Understanding. Among her responsibilities there was supporting the IRC's field staff. She wrote about one of her field experiences in a feature titled "High hopes" in the Fall 2009 issue of Dartmouth Medicine magazine.
