The VISTA Advantage
"Serving as Cultural Heritage Program Manager allows me to work with specialists across South and central Asia to preserve heritage. A community aware of its cultural heritage can preserve this as a legacy for subsequent generations, either as a record of important past achievements or as a reminder of things that they do not want to see happen again. Preserving heritage is meaningful for us today and for generations to come."
