Such a unique and eye opening experience
August 26, 2023by: LaurynThis was the best experience of my life so far. I did some really meaningful work which has continued after my internship, and was privileged to get to know the local people and really immerse myself in the community. Initially I did not feel I had enough tasks, until I went out and found a totally new project which I started working on.
A unique experience I was lucky to have!
July 02, 2021by: Izzie - United StatesI'm very glad I stumbled upon Roots Interns 6 months ago. It has truly been a unique opportunity! At first I was a little nervous as I've never done a remote internship or worked with people from so far away in Africa, but stepping out of my comfort zone was exactly what I needed. After completing my internship I feel more confident in any potential global experience that will come my way. Everyone I've worked with from Roots and MSPC has been wonderful and I'm grateful for having this eye-opening experience.
