My remote internship was nothing short of amazing. All the organization’s members were patient, passionate, and hardworking individuals from whom I learned a lot. I was lucky enough to work and interact closely with one of the founders, who gave me the chance to really expand my boundaries in terms of how I interpret people’s ideas, beliefs, and behaviors into tangible sources of change and impact. I also took on tasks from the Operations Director and Program Assistant, who were encouraging and patient with me, allowing me to have a growth in confidence in my work. Overall the experience has been enriching in allowing me to not only apply my academic knowledge, but in realizing the value of passion while undertaking humanitarian work, and the fulfillment it gives. And that was entirely because of Roots’ support and guidance!
