Eli's Fund to Intern at Al Jazeera

I'm an early-career Middle East journalist and recently I was offered an internship with Al Jazeera in Doha, Qatar. I couldn't ask for a greater opportunity, and I'd be thrilled to take it, but there's one thing standing in my way:

Living in Qatar is extremely expensive, and I won't have a huge source of income. I plan to work a second job and write as a freelancer while I'm there, but it won't be enough to survive.

Al Jazeera wants me to work for them for three months, beginning in mid August.

I would be very grateful if you could make a contribution, even a small one, and/or share the link to this page. Think of the donation as an investment in journalism that counters the crummy mainstream coverage of the Middle East.

Thanks very much for your help.
