Community Development InternMy experience in Cape Town surpassed anything I had imagined beforehand. I was more than pleased with my internship at an HIV/AIDS organization–I was able to gain experience in various parts of the non-profit, working both in the central office as well as in the townships surrounding the city. I formed lasting relationships with co-workers and locals that furthered my understanding and love of South Africa.
I really feel that I would never have been able to make an experience like this happen without the facilitation and help of Connect-123. Connect-123 offered the right amount of support while giving program participants personal space and independence to really experience life abroad. Cape Town itself is a unique and special place that I encourage everyone to visit – make the most of your time abroad in every way possible and you’ll undoubtedly have an eye-opening and formative life experience.
