What recent interns said about their experience
I joined the Social Work & Education internship in Zanzibar, Tanzania, through the Intern Abroad HQ x Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Study Abroad Youth Education & NGO Support Program. This summer has been saturated with personal and professional growth. I am forever grateful for the lessons learned and the communities(local and global) that have shaped me along the way.
Everything was perfect, I felt so welcomed by everyone from the program, the accommodation, the internship and those at Intern Abroad HQ. I had an amazing experience, I will totally recommend it, or do it again myself.
I enjoyed learning about the local culture. Even though it was a big culture shock, I managed to embrace new things which left me feeling humble. This internship has contributed towards my personal development by introducing me to new things. and example of this would be the food. It was very different to the food I would have back home but I was grateful to try new Zanzibar cuisine. This internship helped me professionally because I was able to gain new skills and attributes and it showed me how I can be confident about helping out with others in different countries. My accommodation was kept organized and clean at all times. I was very much impressed. Everyone in intern HQ was very helpful and answered all of my questions.
I enjoyed learning about the culture and expanding my knowledge, and having the experience to learn new things. This has contributed to-wards my personal and professional development as it has gave me the ability to learn and develop new knowledge, try new food and experience new culture. All of the staff were amazing and very helpful. My homestay was very clean and beautiful and had all the facilities.
