Rewarding but challenging experience in Livingstone, Zambia.
While the overall experience was incredible and a once in a lifetime experience, working alone in Livingstone was extremely isolating and challenging. Would recommend to those that have experienced a lot of solo travel. This type of experience is definitely what you make of it, and can be an absolutely amazing opportunity. The support before I left for Zambia was fantastic. This internship has helped prepare me for some of my course material in the next year, as well as helped me work on my professional skills. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring Livingstone by myself. My trips to a crocodile park, Victoria Falls, and an art gallery were some of my favourites. A lot of the tasks, while useful to the organisation, were quite basic and there wasn't much learning about how an NGO is run. At times I felt like I was paying to be an assistant or office worker for a month. The only positive thing about doing said tasks were that they were helpful to the organisation.
