			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My name is Edlynne Venkataya and I currently  attend Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, BC), completing a Bachelors of Business Administration degree, concentrating in both Accounting and Finance along with a minor in Mathematics. I have been given the opportunity to be a part of SFU International Coop by participating in my fourth coop term as a Finance Officer in Malawi Africa in January 2010 till May 2010. My placement is with Active Youth in Development (AYIDO) funded through World University Services of Canada (WUSC), which is strictly a volunteer organization.  This passionate organization is driven towards strong growth, development and success through AYIDO efforts to help reduce infectious diseases and promote human rights through outreach programs and training in Africa.</p>
<p>My experience in accounting and administrative functions have been greatly influenced by my knowledge and training gained at SFU Business and further completing several Co-op placements at BC Housing, helping low income residents to fund housing arrangements, as an Accounting Clerk and Data Integrity Analysis. My responsibilities, as a Finance Officer in Africa, will be to assist with preparations of project budgets and financial reports, maintain internal control and designing innovative measures to improve identification of potential risk areas.</p>
<p>It will be a great privilege to use my accounting expertise to further contribute to this developing country and due to my enthusiasm to learn, I will be able to expand my knowledge and experience in accounting as well. This experience will also promote personal growth and development as I learn how to adapt to changing environments and different cultures.</p>
