Special Needs Volunteering in Singapore

Meiji Internships did a great job in organizing my stay in Singapore, and many activities with some other participants of the program. Meeting people from all over the world was an incredible experience that I didn't anticipate. I knew that working abroad would bring me many skills and change my way of working and seeing the world. But honestly, not only the work but the people you meet is something that might change your life forever. Singapore is a beautiful place gathering different cultures, religions, and ethnicities. This internship made me realized that our world is beautiful and that you can't realize how much it is precious by staying at home and watching some documentaries on your computer or on your phone. You have to go outside, and experience the real world !

After coming home from Singapore, I immediately wished I could go back. My internship in Singapore was amazing and I got a lot out of it. I learned about the field I want to go into (E-commerce), acquired real-life skills and experienced life abroad. Well, not just life abroad but life in ASIA! I always felt like there is a huge cultural discrepancy between Asia and North America, so I am proud to have gained worked experience on both continents. Chatting with the Meiji staff online and the consultation call helped me a lot to ease into the idea of living abroad on my own. Also, I quickly made a lot of friends from all around the world who seemed just as confused/excited as I was hahah! My accommodation was good; small but cozy. I had a blast and can recommend this experience to anyone looking to intern abroad!
