As a student in political science, the chance to experience working in a foreing country is priceless. To be able to do it in Nepal was wonderful and will help troughout my life.
My internship in human rights with Sahara group gave me the opportunity to work with a NGO that was directly connected to groups with higher risks of poverty. I was able to see the work done in a orphanage and a women shelter. I was also helping in the preparation of discussions on the political future of the country and met people from different backgrounds, countries that also enrich my experience. As a intern, I got to experience first hand what are the need in a organization but also share and keep the knowledge that was past to me. This experience help me built a solid work ethic and enhanced my adaptation skills for the work I do back in Canada where great communication skills and autonomy are important assets for employers.
The flexibility of my work with my NGO gave me time to visit also Kathmandu area and visit various area of the country. To have the chance to live with a nepali family was also a important of my experience. I was able appreciate more my experience and connect with the people.

Interesting Experience with Internship Nepal
– Crystal Street
The opportunity to work as a journalist in a foreign country is a
priceless experience, and in the proper environment it can alter
career paths and life perspectives. My experience with Nardev Pandey at Internship Nepal was interesting and I was able to learn about myself as a journalist,
my needs to produce relevant work, my approach towards working in a
foreign country and the cultural differences that exist between
different media markets.
The editorial staff at NepalHumanRightsNews.com allowed me the flexibility to adjust the
program to suit my style of journalism and my needs as an older
student. Living with my host family also opened cultural doors which
may have remained closed had I approached the project as an outsider
staying in the tourist locations of Kathmandu. The food was wonderful
and the family's habits and interactions were refreshing and amusing!
The local experience allowed me to blend in with my environment and
gave my work a different perspective.
While working in a foreign environment takes some adjustments, the
Internship Nepal program made those adjustments feasible and gave me
an experience that will shape my approach to documentary photography
when I return to America. The connections I've made within this
community will also allow me to return as a freelancer at a future
date and will make future work in Nepal much more powerful and
relevant to the people and the issues of this country.
