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 the motivation that I needed during the pandemic times!
