This trip was a life changer for me
July 25, 2022by: EllaProgram: Teaching & Community Development Internship in South AfricaThis trip was a life changer for me. Not only did I come home with new teaching methods that I now use in my job. I also came home more confident, self aware, courageous, self-reliant, knowledgeable, ambitious and determined.
Hey Ella, thanks for your review! I'm thrilled to hear you had such a positive experience with us and enjoyed your time on base as much as you did. We'd love to have you back on base sometime soon!
The overall experience has been truly amazing!
March 20, 2020by: Ioana - RomaniaProgram: Teaching & Community Development Internship in South AfricaThe overall experience has been truly amazing! I am so grateful for it has happened, meeting new people, living in a new culture, and trying out experiences has been really interesting. Seeing everyday something different to what i am used to back home. Everyday has been amazing and wide opening for me in every way possible, in a unique way. This experience has changed a lot in seeing the perspective of trying new things. The internship has been a big challenge for me from when i started, it became a lot more easier as the months went by. I have grown into a new person, facing new things everyday learning from different people, more confidence, believing more in myself.
