Ruben Garang Gai Deng

Ruben is a passionate and enthusiastic student with a wide interest and ambitions, especially in the fields of food security, food systems, monitoring and evaluation, rural development, and climate change advocacy. He believes in the philosophy of Ubuntu; 'I am because we are'. With unity, our world can achieve greater things, and food security is not an exception. It is achievable when we combine our skills.

I am currently looking for an internship where I can get hands-on experience in one of the fields above.
