Zoology & Wildlife Sciences Internships in Namibia

I predominantly taught the year 7s,8s,9s public speaking as part of their English curriculum. Throughout the course of the term they improved massively and it was so lovely to play a role in their development as speakers. On top of that I also took them for sports and sports club. The students were super enthusiastic when it came to their sports specifically football and netball but they were also open to trying new sports and maintained that enthusiasm across the term. Finally, as part of my role as an intern at the school, I got to be apart of the Oceans Days that take place every Friday. The students undertook a wide range of activities that linked back to sustainability and the environment around them. My personal favourite one that I got to be apart of, was judging the fashion show for the Turtle class. I couldn’t recommend this internship enough.

It was a wonderful experience to get the opportunity to work as a Visiting Librararian at the Blue School. I felt trusted and supported in the challanges it meant setting up a library, and also building the library. I also met great co-workers at the school. I also enjoyed being a part of Kelp Blue. I made good friends with empoyees at Kelp Blue through the shared accomodation. I got to join the divers for a day, take part in barbecues and was invited on excursions. The atmosphere at the school was great. I really liked the smallness of the school. Lüderitz is also an amazing, and a little bit strange, town. Beautiful stone houses built by the Germans more than 100 years ago, in the middle of the dessert. The location by the ocean and dessert is nothing I have ever experienced before. The nature of Namibia is stunning. If you get the chance to go to Lüderitz, take it! I hope I will get the chance to come back one day!
