DUE TO SCHEDULING CONFLICTS WITH THE (LARGER) WORLD CUP OF FOOTBALL, WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO CANCEL GLOBAL PACT-SOUTH AFRICA 2010. WE APOLOGIZE TO ALL DISAPPOINTED PARTICIPANTS, AND HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER ANOTHER GLOBAL PACT PROGRAM. WHY NOT INTERN IN THAILAND?

What does it take to forge social change in South Africa? How do you confront issues as overwhelming as apartheid and its aftermath, poverty, crime, unemployment, clean water, racism, environmental degradation and AIDS, to name just a few? Which tough choices do you make when investing for the future?
Global business people, diplomats, aid officials, and employees of international organizations deal with these issues on a daily basis. But where will you get the knowledge, skills and attitudes to take on these issues? By joining Global PACT, you'll discover the fundamentals of social-change start-up and management by beginning a new project in South Africa through a unique partnership with Global PACT and Rhodes University.
