Review

I came here as a student and left as a student with a backpack full of experiences. I have made wonderful connections and was able to explore my field of interest and was able to shape the direction of my future. Other than the educational aspect of my internship, this was by far the most wonderful emotional rollercoaster I‘v ever been on so far. You won‘t experience a fairytale and neither will you get the princess treatment: you‘ll be one of the team and you‘ll get treated as an equal, even if you‘re skill set is yet not as evaluated as you wish. This is what I‘ve been able to strengthen: my skill set, my ability to bond, my cultural filter and sensitivity and a mind that is not shy to question and think. The kids make you reevaluate your point of view and your experiences will shape your personality. That‘s why I would choose BetterMe again. Be careful how you think certain topics through and evaluate your role as an intern or volunteer. Question your motives and be humble. You‘re the foreigner. Observe and dive in. BetterMe will guide you through this process.
