One of the things I enjoyed most about the remote Legal Support for Human Rights Advocacy internship (hosted out of Tanzania) was the opportunity to engage directly with local communities and witness the real-world impact of what we discussed and learned about. Being immersed in a different culture challenged me to adapt quickly, think critically, and approach problems with empathy and creativity. Professionally, it deepened my interest in global policy and grassroots organizing, while personally, it helped me grow more confident, independent, and open-minded. The experience gave me a clearer sense of purpose and direction in terms of the kind of work I want to pursue in the future. I really appreciated the guidance and support I received. Communication was clear and timely, and I felt that any questions or concerns I had were taken seriously. The team was approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. Thank you for being such a reliable and supportive resource throughout the process.

I thoroughly enjoyed my placement, as it provided valuable opportunities for both personal and professional development. I was able to build on my existing knowledge, enhance my clinical skills, and gain deeper insight into patient care. This experience also helped broaden my perspective, improve my confidence, and strengthen my ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team.

For me, getting my dive certification was the most important aspect, but to also obtain academic credits along the way topped it all. The people were amazing and always waved as I walked everyday to the marina and back. Cleaning the beach, my zipline excursions, and to look down as a turtle swims next to me was amazing. I'm going on another internship with Intern Abroad, but this time to Greece. Thanks Intern Abroad for 8 weeks of adventure!
