AWARENESS IGNITES ACTION. âAs an educator in the field of microfinance, it is rare to find those opportunities that can bring your students closer to the action before they join the professional world. âI felt that my Human Connections internship this summer was designed specially for me.

Karst Cave, China. Photograph by Raymond Gehman. Looking like the set of a science fiction movie, China's Reed Flute Cave is bathed in purple-blue light. Created by an underground river more than a half million years ago, this highly accessible karst formation is one of the region's most popular tourist attractions.
The modern flute was developed by Theobald Boehm who experimented with it from 1832 to 1847, desiring to give it a bigger tone. He finally produced a parabolic (bowl-shaped) head joint attached to a cylindrical body with open-standing keys and finger pads to cover large finger holes.
