I am a third year political science major with interests in technology, development, and journalism. At the moment I am studying and travelling abroad in India and Nepal, and I've gotten pretty much fluent in Nepali. Does anyone know of a cool New York based NGO that might have use for someone who knows Nepali language? General advice on finding NGOs in the New York area to intern for is also appreciated. post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.77003 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 22:58:31 -0800 Hollow Newyork NYC NGO internship India Nepal Nepali http://ask.metafilter.com/77003/Im-looking-for-an-internship-in-New-York-with-an-NGO-and-I-speak-Nepali#1144165 <a href="http://www.hrw.org/">Human Rights Watch</a> has an office in New York -- here's a <a href="http://hrw.org/english/docs/2007/05/17/bhutan15959.htm">2007 piece </a> they published on Nepal, and here's the <a href="http://www.hrw.org/internships/undergraduates/undergraduates.html">internship page</a>. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.77003-1144165 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 23:28:35 -0800 ClaudiaCenter http://ask.metafilter.com/77003/Im-looking-for-an-internship-in-New-York-with-an-NGO-and-I-speak-Nepali#1144167 <a href="http://www.nynepalitimes.com/index.php?action=2&gid=27">Nepali organizations</a> in NYC. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.77003-1144167 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 23:31:35 -0800 ClaudiaCenter http://ask.metafilter.com/77003/Im-looking-for-an-internship-in-New-York-with-an-NGO-and-I-speak-Nepali#1144169 If you want to use your language skills, a lawyer's office might be cool as you might be able to do the intakes in Nepali. <a href="http://anlus.wordpress.com/by-laws/">Nepalese lawyers</a> in NYC. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.77003-1144169 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 23:34:28 -0800 ClaudiaCenter http://ask.metafilter.com/77003/Im-looking-for-an-internship-in-New-York-with-an-NGO-and-I-speak-Nepali#1144170 Funny you ask this now - I'm looking at <a href="http://haas.stanford.edu/external_fellowships/index.php?cats%5B48%5D=all&cats%5B17%5D=all&cats%5B10%5D=all&cats%5B62%5D=all">Stanford University's Public Service Programs database</a>, and they may have something for you. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.77003-1144170 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 23:35:27 -0800 divabat http://ask.metafilter.com/77003/Im-looking-for-an-internship-in-New-York-with-an-NGO-and-I-speak-Nepali#1144172 NYC <a href="http://www.sakhi.com/">DV org</a> for South Asian women. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.77003-1144172 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 23:37:53 -0800 ClaudiaCenter
