My remote internship exceeded my expectations due to the kind and enthusiastic individuals that I worked with. Being a part of a nonprofit organization has been an absolutely humbling and wonderful experience and I wish I could have done this internship in-person. I am from South Africa, but I am currently based in the USA. Interning with a South African nonprofit allowed me to have a little piece of home all the way across the world; not only was I working for an amazing organization that has the potential to transcend South African borders, but the organization also gave me...My remote internship exceeded my expectations due to the kind and enthusiastic individuals that I worked with.

Writing Internship, Remote
Overall, I had a great experience. My supervisor was a wonderful person who was understanding, helpful, provided consistent feedback, and stayed in communication with me even though we were on different continents. While I think the experience could have been better if I had been able to do the work on the ground, I still feel I learned a lot about the organization and the community it serves. I appreciate the support that I received throughout my internship and look forward to being able to utilize the skills I developed in digital communication, project management, lesson planning, and grant research...Overall, I had a great experience.

I wrote my bachelor thesis on fundraising communication strategies for the German market in order to help the nonprofit expand its pool of monthly donors internationally. I learned a lot about fundraising marketing through the research and development of new plans and am so happy that I was able to broaden my horizons. Professionally, I have gained valuable insights into fundraising marketing activities. On a personal level, I feel like I have learned a lot about the children's culture in South Africa without ever having visited them. The collaboration with the organization in general was kind, respectful, and overall enhancing...I wrote my bachelor thesis on fundraising communication strategies for the German market in order to help the nonprofit expand its pool of monthly donors internationally. I learned a lot about fundraising marketing through the research and development of new plans and am so happy that I was able to broaden my horizons. Professionally, I have gained valuable insights into fundraising marketing activities. On a personal level, I feel like I have learned a lot about the children's culture in South Africa without ever having visited them. The collaboration with the organization in general was kind, respectful, and overall enhancing for me. My supervisors were always extremely supportive and encouraging, making my bachelor thesis pleasant and fun. I look forward to staying in contact with them and helping implement new ideas wherever I can. After having worked in large companies before, this internship showed me that I would love to work in smaller teams on a more personal level in my future career. Also, it showed me that it does not take much to make a huge impact on others' lives. In the future, I want to be more grateful and contribute to the well-being of others.
