My internship in Cambodia was very worthwhile. Roots helped me a lot to organize everything, including my accommodation before I arrived. I wanted to do my internship somewhere in Southeast Asia, but it would have been very difficult to find this experience without Roots. As a marketing intern, I took on many tasks, but the main focuses were creating content, writing posts, editing videos, updating the website, and photography. Since I'm currently studying communications, it was a great experience to apply the knowledge and skills I've learned from university so far to the professional field.

Since I'm currently studying communications, it was a great experience to apply the knowledge and skills I've learned from university so far to the professional field. I wasn't sure if I wanted to work in this field after graduating, however, after this experience, I am eager to embark on a career in communications as the tasks I worked on were interesting and engaging. Besides the work itself, it was also great to meet new people and explore temples in Siem Reap. See More Communications and Marketing Internship, Cambodia
Over my 3 months in Cambodia, I had the honor of living within the Siem Reap community, and more importantly, the privilege to work with an organization dedicated to uplifting it. The work they do extends to all aspects of their students’ lives, and the passion the children put toward learning embodies that. I came with a specific job to do; to help build a program for students to learn about computers and computer safety, but when I arrived on the first day, it was clear that my job was much more than that.

The work they do extends to all aspects of their students’ lives, and the passion the children put toward learning embodies that. I came with a specific job to do; to help build a program for students to learn about computers and computer safety, but when I arrived on the first day, it was clear that my job was much more than that. I was granted the opportunity to connect with the local community and learn from their experiences and culture. During my time, I was able to foster relationships with the community, the team at my host organization, and the students; I even had the chances to join some classes, go on bike rides, and participate in organization-wide excursions. Although my internship has come to an end, my love for this organization and the work that I was able to do will fuel my future endeavours for years to come.
