"My favorite part of the internship was…"

My favorite part of the internship was the zoom calls with the kids. That experience alone made me feel amazing, I really loved being able to communicate with them and just be able to talk to them. And as I told them, next time I come to India I will make sure to pay them a visit! I feel more empowered in my field because this experience has given me even more reason to go into the field I want to be in. Currently, I am interested in pre-med, and I feel that through medicine I will be able to give back to this community! Health issues are a big deal in India, and in the future, I hope to participate in activities like medical camps and volunteering at hospitals. If it’s safe, maybe in college I will decide to take a year abroad and go to India, I feel that there is so much more to learn! My most significant learning points were the skills I obtained. These skills include time management, professionalism, the ability to practice smart goal setting. Through the projects I completed and lessons I taught, I feel that I learned a lot about multiculturalism as well as myself. I hope I made a lasting impact on the lives of others in my short time with this internship!

"Community and Social Work Forum Recommendation"

I had the opportunity to work with Community and Social Work Forum for a period of five weeks as result of my social work internship application with Intern Abroad HQ. My experience with Community and Social Work Forum has been unique. This is indeed the word the best describes the five weeks I have spent working with the organisation.

Although I have completed my internship remotely, thanks to the two professionals representing the organisation, I gained an original taste of the work that social workers do in Tanzania. Since our first interaction, I have been welcomed with kindness and I immediately felt part of the team. The whole internship program was person-centred, based on my personal and professional goals. The two professionals have been keen to ensuring that each and every activity that we conducted contributed to the achievement of my objectives. By way of illustration, I have always been encouraged to share subjects of interest to me to be discussed within our sessions. Furthermore, thanks to the support I received and by virtue of our discussions, I have managed to identify areas of improvement in my practice. This fact in itself has enabled me to become a better professional. In this context, I have also felt very comfortable with sharing some of my struggles in terms of the work I conduct with my clients. These have been received with a non-judgmental and extremely supportive attitude, leading the professionals to share some of the struggles they have themselves encountered during their fascinating careers along with techniques and methods to overcome them. The two professionals have always been ready to share their wide expertise and knowledge with me. They have provided me with extraordinary advices and guidance which I am now applying in my work.

It has been an immense pleasure to work with such valuable, caring and open-minded professionals. With honesty, I would be honoured to work with Community and Social Work Forum again. Thus, I strongly recommend Community and Social Work Forum to anyone who is interested in making the world a better place and who is looking for a unique internship or volunteering experience.

"Intern Abroad HQ is great, and I cannot recommend it enough."

Intern Abroad HQ was very helpful every step of the way. I am so thankful for being able to find this opportunity. If I had any questions, they would be sure to help me. They were understanding if I ran into any problems on my end, and they were always willing to help out.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an Internship Abroad. While I did the remote Internship, with Covid-19 still being an issue, I am sure the Intern Abroad option will be just as great.

"Horrible!! Waste of money and time. SAVE YOURSELF"

Horrible. I applied for a media communications internship in Denpasar Bali. When I arrived I went to my internship and they wanted me to work in the bar and ticket office. InternHQ has on their website I would be working with more of the business work and NOT working as a server. I was miserable and left the country early. When I tried to get help they didn’t help and left me at the internship not learning anything. Waste of money and time. My internship companies boss made me cry the first week. DO NOT DO AN INTERNSHIP WITH INTERN HQ until you have done all background research of the company you are working for and clarifying to both parties what you want to do and what they want you to do. Although you shouldn’t need to when the websites say what you are supposed to do and end up not. Please do not waste your money and find an internship abroad with real reviews and certified. I would suggest doing Leadabroad.

"I had the most amazing experience!"

I had the most amazing experience doing an internship in Cape Town, South Africa over this summer. I did a psychology internship for four weeks. IAHQ ,thank you for giving me the trip of a life time. The internship I did is very helpful for my future career and I am so grateful that IAHQ gave me this opportunity. IAHQ really helps you find an internship that is right for you. They were so helpful every step of the way. I met amazing interns and I made everlasting memories. I got to see a beautiful country while doing an internship related to what I am studying. Everyone I met was so friendly. I got to learn about a new culture. I definitely recommend this program to anyone who likes travelling and is looking for a trip they will never forget.

"Women’s Shelter Arusha Tanzania"

Participating in this internship abroad has had nothing but a positive influence on my life. Everything from the accommodations to my place of work was better than I imagined it. Living in a hostile with other volunteers who are working in the area made me feel like I had another family so far away from home. I was fed breakfast every day and dinner five times a week. Each meal was very good. I would definitely recommend this internship to anyone interested.

"I enjoyed every moment"

I enjoyed every moment of my volunteer experience in Arusha, Tanzania. I worked at a primary school called Assumption School that was conveniently placed very close to the accommodation. The student body was so kind and diverse in regards to tribal origins, religions, and socio-economic backgrounds. The staff were also so very welcoming and kind and helped me not only in class but also on the day to day by inviting my over to their places for a meal, and helping me buy fabrics and gifts for appropriate prices at the local markets and even for exchanging money! The accommodation was always clean, with amazing food and all other interns brought such positive energy that made this experience unique compared to that of past volunteer experiences. As a result, I was excited to not only go to work to see my kids, but also to go home and spend time with my new found family!

"Wonderful volunteer experience in Cusco, Peru"

I volunteered in Cusco, Peru for 4 weeks at a clinic. In the clinic I worked with a Physiotherapist and worked with the patients they saw. The tasks included doing pain management with hydrotherapy, electrical stimulation, laser, and ultrasounds. The therapist taught me a lot I did not know and working in the clinic was very hands on.
Prior to departure, my program coordinator was very responsive with any questions I had. There was an internship manual that explained everything I needed to know so there was not any surprises when I was there.
The home stay were extremely friendly! I always felt safe and they were always there if I ever needed anything. I actually got emotional when I had to say goodbye to them. I definitely will be doing another internship with InternAbroadHQ. The only mistake I made was not staying longer!

""Discover, Immerse, Experience, Grow" - Proyecto Peru"

I did an internship through Intern Abroad HQ in Cusco, Peru for a semester study abroad through my university. It was one of the best things I have ever done in my life! It has been my dream to study abroad since I was in middle school and through this program, I was able to live that dream.

Intern Abroad HQ did a great job at organizing everything pre-departure as well as checking up on the group of us throughout our time in Peru. The staff at Proyecto Peru were amazing and super helpful with helping you out with anything and everything. I was lucky enough to be able to work with the director of the English department. I assisted him with teaching classes, marketing, program development, and program outreach. Within the first week, the staff already felt like my family away from home.

My host family was absolutely incredible. They were the kindest, self-less, and most inspiring people I have met. They made me feel right at home and never made me feel like I was just another student at the dinner table. Leaving them was so hard and I can not wait for the day I can go back.

My sole purpose of going to Cusco was to learn Spanish. Anyone looking to improve their Spanish, Cusco is the place to go! The Spanish is very easy to understand, and the locals are always willing to help you out. My private Spanish lessons through Proyecto Peru helped me a lot to gain more fluency and proficiency as well talking with my host family every day.

Finally, if you are an adventurer, Cusco is calling your name. The Cusco area is beautiful. There is so many cool places to explore. I promise you won’t have enough time to see it all. Plan your weekends ahead of time because in a blink of an eye they will be gone!

Now quit reading this review and go apply for an internship with Intern Abroad HQ. I promise you will have an experience of a lifetime!

"BEST EXPERIENCE"

After coming home from Spain I immediately wished I could go back. My internship in Valencia was so amazing and I truly got so much out of it. I learned about the field I want to go into, got hands on experience, and did this all in another country. I arrived in Spain extremely nervous because I never left America before but as soon as I went to my orientation I knew it would be amazing. The staff and everyone was so helpful and answered all of my questions. I also had the opportunity to meet other students from other Universities who became great friends throughout the trip. My host mom was so nice and even though there was a slight language barrier I felt comfortable in her home and she helped me with anything I needed. I recommend this experience to anyone looking to intern abroad.
