the cultural diversity in s. africa mesmerized me! very beautiful sceneries. that is the highlight of my trip. i was deployed in a photography internship -- like national geography... super adventurous and very fun! we were taught about some camouflage stuff and some tricks as to what we could do with our lenses to remain hidden from zoo animals. the geography is outstanding. i wish I could stay longer though.

NGO experience

Sharing my favorite quote about the environment: “The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.” I volunteered for an NGO that focuses on ecological sustainability. We wrote some position papers, went to communities to educate people, and even travelled on weekends. I am grateful to the Institute for Global Studies for the great summer I had.

10/10

My internship is about wildlife rehabilitation and I opted to take it in South Africa. Wildlife is really my passion ever since I was a kid, and this a super cool way to start my journey and career path there. I am an incoming freshman in college and I took this internship to be more familiar with the field I am eyeing. And I just loved it! It is definitely a 10/10!
