Will I always be working on a project related to my focus area (i.e. health, agriculture, livelihood, education)?
The ideal Fellow would be willing and open to work on a variety of tasks that are related directly or indirectly to their project area. For example, a Fellow working with an education organization may be tasked with designing an education curriculum, but would also be working on administration of the curriculum, training of the staff, creating databases, fundraising and monitoring/evaluation. Other aspects of the project may include helping with operations, administration and leveraging your computer skills to expand the capacity of the organization. Sometimes, the biggest contribution of the Fellow comes not from their specific project field, but what they bring overall in terms of increasing the infrastructural development of the organization. This is not the case with all the organizations, but all applicants should understand this is a part of the expectations of the Sandbox Fellows.
