My internship was a highly valuable and enriching experience that combined practical work with meaningful learning. It allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge in a real-world context while developing new skills and confidence. The supportive environment and hands-on responsibilities made the experience both personally and professionally rewarding.
I was a virtual intern at Baobuyu Learning Center. I was able to help write curricula and design lesson plans for their Girl Power class. The entire experience was greatly rewarding and I hope to continue to pursue this work in the future.
I had a wonderful time working with roots and my placement organization. I was walked through the interview process and enjoyed how well heard I was. My interests, schedule, and goals were taken into account at every turn. I felt supported during my stay and the accommodations were very nice. My whole experience was so pleasant that I decided to come back after my internship and I'll be staying here for the rest of the year! My life has been changed for the better because of this experience.

I had an amazing time during my internship at Baobuyu! Tammy is such an inspiration and I feel really lucky I got to spend time working with her. She always keeps things interesting and theres always something going on. There was never a dull moment throughout my two months. The teachers at the school were also so welcoming and so curious and ready to learn. I had so much fun working with them. They are often making jokes and laughing and being silly which created a really fun work environment. The people of Zambia are so kind and welcoming I had an amazing time getting to know locals and learning more about the country and culture. Livingstone especially is such a wonderful area to be in and I am so happy I got to have that experience. I will definitely have to visit again someday.
