I was very fortunate to be awarded a fulbright for the upcoming year. However, after receiving my placement, I was informed that the rural sites were endemic hotspots for lymphatic filariasis, to the point where about 10% of the national population is living with it.
Because I do not want to take upon myself a lifelong chronic illness, and put myself in a position of risk, I'm seriously thinking of declining the award.
Instead, I will be teaching middle school life science at a school in D.C.
But, having been awarded this opportunity is something of substance...can I still mention it, or would it be to my detriment?
