This led me to take part in projects like making an infant breathing machine to be tested in rural Nepal, designing community health surveys for use in Haiti or creating electronic music that reflected Salvadoran history.
Some people noticed that I liked to combine the humanities and the sciences, which led to me being given the chance of a lifetime to go study philosophy, health and music in London, England. I’m a bit short on word count, so you can ask me more about London later, but I just want to say that my time in London was filled with a lot of jazz, where I could play, enjoy and create jazz with new and old friends in a wonderful city. Have you ever listened to jazz? It's a style of music from the U.S. that has evolved to include sounds from nearly every culture on the planet. If you haven't heard any, you should listen to some!
As a Fulbright student researcher in El Salvador, I get to continue combining the humanities (the study of and working with people) and sciences, but with a special human rights focus. Although I’m not working as an engineer, I still use engineering principles in my work, and the same goes for philosophy and music! We have the next few weeks to discuss all of this more in detail, and to explain anything that I wrote about here, so I can’t wait to keep talking with you all!
Much peace,
Jeffrey
