Meghan Ryan interned with Voices for Global Change in the fall of 2006, when she was a junior at George Washington University in Washington, DC. Her work focused primarily on Paper to Pearls and she quickly developed an interest in northern Uganda and in the lives of the beaders. She was eager to go to Uganda and offered to raise money to pay her own way if an opportunity presented itself. In June 2007, Meghan boarded a plane with Barbara Moller for Barbara's trip to Uganda that month to check on Paper to Pearls' training projects.
