Inside the internship
I had two internships, one with the Province of Buenos Aires and the other with an NGO giving business classes to small entrepreneurs and supporting them with microcredits. Both allowed me to have firsthand experiences in fields I was interested in.

Microfinance Intern
I work with an NGO that provides business development aid and micro-credit loans to women living just north of Buenos Aires. These women take what they have learned and start their own small businesses, selling baked goods, homemade jewelry or fashion pieces.
