These are excellent and very meaningful internships. It's great to see Wharton encouraging MBA students to take an interest in the public sector. They are sorely needed there.

I was particulary interested by Shreyans Parekh's internship - the concept of social entrepreneurship - still relies on the fundamental concept of financial sustainability. This means delivering what people need and want. For me this internship not only delivers assistance, it is a model for participation in a future free market. The promotion of economic freedom around the world - which can lead the way toward increased political and individual freedom. Bravo!
