I was in Cape Town, South Africa to teach Sex Education to teenagers with a non-profit NGO in July and August 2010. After these two months, I left Cape Town with fun memories, valuable knowledge on development and NGO work, and friendships I know would last for years; more than what I expected or asked for. I am thankful to all of Connect-123 ‘s staff that carefully ensure the intern’s expectations are met. When I was there, I worked with the staff of my host organization, going into schools and facilitating Life Orientation classes on Sex Education. I wanted to learn more and Connect-123 found me another children’s literacy organization to work with. I also got a chance to help at a refugee organization for a short 3 days. As a result, I gained a wide range of firsthand experience in the types of organizations there are in Cape Town. In addition, the weekend outings and social nights Connect-123 organized served as a great venue for getting to know people with the same interests as I do. It has been almost a year since I was last in Cape Town, but I am still in close contact with my work colleagues, as well as my friends I made from all over the world!
