A Semester at Sea Facebook post revealed an internship placement organization in Cape Town, called Epiventure. When Juhnke reached out to Epiventure in hopes of returning to Cape Town, what she found was more than she had expected. “They told me that they’ve been looking for someone with my interests and skills for a long time and soon offered me the internship.” Juhnke is excited to begin this adventure, but still has her feet on the ground. She has even bigger plans for when she arrives back in the States, including a career and possibly grad school. But until then she’ll keep family and friends updated through her blog titled “Anchored in the Cape: A journey of personal, spiritual and professional growth.” Keep track of Juhnke’s adventure by following her at: 2920 SE Croco Rd Topeka, KS 66605 (785) 267-7400 ejuhnke.blogspot.com/ page 19
