English translation:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Hi, my name is Olivia and for the next five months I will be continuing my Junior Year college studies in the Central African country of Cameroon. While abroad, I will be living with a host family in the capitol city Yaound\u00e9, taking classes (all in French!) at the Universit\u00e9 Catholique d’Afrique Centrale, and immersing myself in Cameroonian and African cultures. As an International Relations major, studying abroad is important to me because it will allow me to learn about the world through first-hand experiences and personal accounts. By living with a local family and taking classes at a local university, I hope to gain a deeper and more robust understanding of the cultural, social, political, and economic climate of Cameroon and other African countries. I selected Cameroon as my place of study because it is a diverse, French-speaking country with an extremely interesting political and economic history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bonjour!
