Caritas Cyprus is pleased to have partnered with the Human Needs and Global Resources (HNGR) Program at Wheaton College in Chicago, Illinois. Grounded in shared values of service, solidarity, and global citizenship, this collaboration strengthens our mutual commitment to addressing human need and promoting justice and peace across borders.
As part of this new partnership, Ailee Viana, a student of International Relations, has joined Caritas Cyprus as our first HNGR intern. During her six-month placement, Ailee will contribute to the work of our Migrant Centre team while continuing her academic studies and research in collaboration with Caritas Cyprus.
Wheaton’s HNGR Program prepares students to engage thoughtfully and compassionately with global issues such as poverty, justice, and peacebuilding. Caritas Cyprus, in turn, provides a setting for meaningful, values-based learning through service.
For many years, Caritas Cyprus has welcomed interns from across Europe, the UK and the USA. We are grateful for Ailee’s presence and look forward to developing our partnership with Wheaton College in the years ahead.
