Internship with Fundacion Huesped in Buenos Aires!

I interned with a HIV/AIDS non-profit in Buenos Aires called Fundacion Huesped. I worked in an HIV/AIDS clinic at Hospital Fernandez in the center of the city, doing clerical work and preparing patients medical files. My internship was arranged through COINed in Buenos Aires, which was AIDE Abroad's partner organization in Argentina.
While there I lived with a single older woman who was divorced and had two children who both were middle aged with their own families. She was a little odd, but always entertaining. Additionally I lived with three other students at COINed while I was there throughout my two month stay (one girl from England, one boy from England, and one boy from Brazil). The living situation can be lonely at times, but as long as you are actively engaged and seek out things to do with other people in your program it isn't a huge negative.
I was the only foreigner working at my position, and my co-workers did not speak a great deal of English so my Spanish developed a lot during these two months. Additionally, the staff at COINed was really helpful with getting around the city, things to avoid, things to check out, etc. They also were very accommodating with my placement. I felt that I still had too much free time, so ultimately they set up another volunteer placement at an after school program in La Boca.
