Early childhood education

I find it that my purpose really is teaching kids so I messaged IGS to have this internship in Nepal. Nepal is my special request and luckily, it was granted. My former nanny is from Kathmandu so I really look forward to see her there. We had the chance to catch up on weekends. Going back, I taught English and Science in a private school downtown. The kids are lovely and very eager to learn. I saw myself when I was a child hehe.

Ecotourism gap year

thanks to my dad for allowing me to venture on this. I had my gap year in ecotourism and had the chance to work for an NGO that supports and takes care of ecotourism sites. my college degree is in tourism but i really had this passion and enthusiasm in the environment so it's practically a win-win for me. thanks Nepal for a great place

New perspective

I'm from Nepal and with the covid situation, my parents only allowed me to do my internship in Nepal too. I was deployed in a big financial company in the city and did some digital marketing there. I learned more about the art of persuasion and marketing techniques. The IGS mentor assigned to me, Ms. Frea, gives me reasonable tasks and guides me through it. I had to live in a dorm because our home was away from the city. It gave me some new perspective in life and it was nice to finally go out after some months of self - quarantine.
