I do not have a single bad thing to say about my internship in Zambia. Anyone who is interested in NGO management or the general behind the scenes of running an NGO would benefit greatly from working with this organization. From admin tasks, to social media, to teaching; I got to try and experience everything. The team was incredible and I am sure I will be back in the near future. The biggest thing I learned during my internship was the overall work it takes to run an NGO. The pressure of fundraising and looking after so many students is resting on so few shoulders and the way in which the team handles this is incredible. I think overall this taught me about resilience and the importance of not giving up even if a cumulation of bad or challenging news comes all at once.
