Clarice Brambilla
Nonprofit Fundraising Intern | Cape TownMy two-month internship in Cape Town was by far one of the most fulfilling, satisfactory and productive time of my life. What I value most about my Connect-123 internship is the fact that I was assigned a task I had no experience in: fundraising. My original goal was to do an internship in which I could help make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged children, but I didn’t know exactly what I could do as I am a philosophy student, and my studies have no direct relation with this field. Connect-123 was able to find a job for me, allowing me to both challenge myself and make a difference. As a result, I gained experience in a field I knew nothing about and I even found out I really enjoy fundraising and I am good at it too! For Connect-123 my passion and my strive to do good was enough, and I proved them right. To all of those who are still seeking a path in their lives, who want to make a difference for the good, but still don’t know exactly what skills they have or what profession fulfills them and makes them happy, an internship such as mine is by far the most enlightening and eye-opening experience!

Spending the past few months interning in Cape Town has been such an amazing and fulfilling experience. My nerves of being so far away from home quickly faded after meeting the Connect-123 staff, they were incredibly helpful and really have a way of making you feel welcome and accounted for. During my time here I worked as an assistant dietitian for a non-profit organization. I learned so much while also...

It is no doubt that Cape Town is one of the most beautiful places on this planet. I fell in love with the place at first sight and was truly lucky to have been given the opportunity to intern in the city itself! My program coordinator was very efficient in securing an internship position for me, with a leading university, as a research intern. She also assisted in administrative tasks which allowed...

How do you begin to describe an experience that has changed your life forever? To say that my experience in Cape Town was “life changing” doesn’t really even begin to scrape the surface. There are simply no words to describe the beauty of the city of Cape Town or the beauty and love that seeps through every wall of the Red Cross Hospital. I have never in my life worked...

I think trying to summarize my time in Cape Town in a few paragraphs, would only do some injustice to the incredible, rewarding and memorable experience that I had. But I don’t have any other option. It all started out in January this year when I was trying to figure out what I was going to do over the summer. A career officer at my school led me to Connect...
