VACorps staff are the best!

Coming to Cape Town was a big leap of faith for me as i went into doing this internship not knowing what i will face. I wanted to get far out of my comfort zone and choose a country where i would never imagine coming to. I surprised myself and adapted quite well in CT, learning, experiencing new things and falling in love with the people and culture. I loved interning at Groote Schurr hospital as it helped me to learn so much about the health issues that CT has been facing. I was able to be open-minded and experience what i have learned in theory during my years at university and actually gaining experience and insight on Research and the prevention and intervention of HIV. I went through an amazing journey for 3 months here, and i have faced challenges and done things i thought i could never do. I have grown so much from being part of this experience, becoming more independent and looking beyond what meets the eye. I loved living here, especially in Obz and i do not regret coming here at all. Out of all things, i will deeply miss the people here and their free and welcoming spirits. I have created so many beautiful relationships here and i will cherish all the memories. VACorps staff are the best! I joined a few activities and loved the garden route tour the most. I am super grateful for everyone here and the support has been the best.
