local NGO, Homeland, to assess the extent of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in local
communities. He designed and completed a research project entitled, "Village
HIV/AIDS Mapping of Slaket, Otaki, Peam Ek and K'dol Villages," which helped
Homeland target its resources more effectively.

a month-long independent study on street children and NGOs working with them.
In the summer of 2002, he taught English and served as role model to at-risk
children in rural East Africa. Born in the United States, Seth was reared in
Italy and is fluent in Italian, English, French and Romanian, and has significant
