Review

Becoming an intern abroad entails acquiring practical, hands-on experience at a foreign business or organization while participating in all the thrilling adventures. Thanks to Intern Abroad HQ, my experience in Cape Town, South Africa, has been immersed in the local culture filled with adventures from delicious wine tasting in Cape Town's finest vineyards, catching the sunset on a catamaran as well as going on vigorous walks alongside the coast and seeing penguins. Further, I have been immersed in the local culture by visiting local markets and tasting Cape Town's most exotic food, such as Ostrich!

In this work-hard, play-hard culture, I interned at a human rights NGO names Africa Unite whose goal is to build communities that are conflict free, enhance social cohesion and promote social and economic development. During this internship, I have been allowed to touch on all of these disciplines drafting government letters, public speaking, organizing events for 50+ people, and openly speaking about change regarding human rights, women's rights and children's. Further, I have learnt how to carefully analyze a societal problem and find the most sustainable solutions that help every community member. I have always been keen on making a change for the better, and thanks to Intern Abroad, it has been the perfect channel to do so outside of my studies!
