Alumnus spending year distributing food to Rwandan refugee camps

A 2014 Ithaca College graduate is spending the year helping distribute food to refugee camps in Rwanda, thanks to a fellowship from Princeton in Africa, an independent nonprofit committed to Africa’s advancement.

One of 52 fellows selected for the program this year, Malcolm Temple is working with the United Nations World Food Programme in Rwanda. Temple said his travels greatly impacted his views on the world.

“Through my travels, my view on poverty in the developing world pivoted, and I came to understand the inequality between the global north and south as an issue of global justice rather than a natural phenomenon,” Temple said.

“I wanted to be an ally in empowering communities in the global south and knew that in order to do that I had to go there and engage with the communities,” he said.
