Review

My experience with FSD in India not only allowed me to develop professionally, but also to undergo personal growth in unimaginable ways. If you're open to new cultural experiences, passionate about grassroots development and unconventional learning, then this opportunity is for you!

India is an amazing country with vibrant and complex cultures. Udaipur is a charming desert city enveloped in the ancient Aravali Mountains and known for its iconic network of lakes. Udaipur is a safe city with a wealth of opportunities for involvement in local development initiatives, recreational activities and community engagement.

Of course no program is perfect, and participating in a program in an entirely different cultural context presents new challenges and frustrations. While organization and structure can always be improved, the internship program is a unique educational opportunity and cross-cultural experience. An intern's work in country is often referred to as a project, but it's important to keep in mind that interns are in no way obligated to devise comprehensive development projects. In fact, some of the most successful intern initiatives involve contributing to the host organization's ongoing efforts or existing programs, which the program can emphasize more.

If you're still interested, don't hesitate to apply!
