Spending a month in Cape Town has changed my life and reassured me that my career choice in Child Life is the right one for me. Connect-123 provided us with opportunities and information to build relationships in the community and in professional settings.

For 2 months, I had the wonderful experience of working in a day hospital in Cape Town.I’m very grateful to all the clinical staff at the hospital and also the Connect organisers for being so warm and checking in with us regularly.

My time in Buenos Aires was filled with close friendships, adventures in the city, and it concluded with a confirmation of my desire to pursue a career in medicine.

My program coordination in Cape Town has been nothing short of fantastic. They have been wonderful, providing enough guidance to see me through my first days while giving me the space to grow and discover on my own.

There are not enough words to describe my experience in Barcelona with Connect-123. They were so helpful through my whole life changing journey. I entered my volunteer placement nervous and ended it being happier than ever to share my life with them!

Interning at an orthopedic hospital in Cape Town was one of the most rewarding and amazing experiences of my life so far. Being able to live and volunteer in a city as beautiful and diverse as Cape Town will be an experience that I will carry with me for a lifetime.

As a Connect-123 intern, I had the privilege to work with an educational non-profit. This internship gave me the experience that I was hoping to have. I loved Cape Town but most importantly, the friendships I formed were the highlight of my time in the city.

Spending my summer with Connect-123 abroad was incredibly rewarding. Not only was I able to make lifelong friends that I know I will keep in contact for years to come, but I also was able to learn and thrive in a different work environment, country, and culture where I grew truly independent

My experience in Argentina was definitely a worthwhile experience. I was able to learn, practice, and enhance my Spanish speaking skills by just everyday life and by attending classes the organization suggested.

Connect-123 made my dream internship of observing doctors at both general and pediatric hospitals abroad possible. Buenos Aires was a wonderful place to live and I would not have felt as welcomed and as confident in the city if it weren’t for Connect-123.
