"This summer, I was in The Gambia doing an internship with two prime real estate companies, Blue Ocean Properties and TAF Africa Global. I started these internships expecting to learn more about the industry and I know that by joining these companies as they built homes and estates around the country, not only would I learn about construction and leadership, but also about the spirit it takes to build a nation. The beauty of it was that this spirit permeated every space in society. If Gambia was an arm, its sleeves were rolled up."
