"Study abroad gave me direction and because of it, I feel like I've got a firmer grasp on where I want to go with the rest of my life," says the UVM undergraduate.
Working directly with Senegal villages as part of the Living Routes program, "Sustainable Development in Ecovillages," Meurice met with villagers in order to help plan for, and ultimately fund, a sustainable business idea.
