My internship with BFY was extremely educational. Listening to and reading interviews with the mothers helped me gain an understanding of the cycle of poverty and how it affects their children. The research is groundbreaking and will hopefully inform policy for low-income families and their children, who deserve social safety nets. The work requires organization and precision as well as an open mind.
