I've always wanted to work in an international environment, and my internship at SOFEDI confirmed with certainty that I was really going to work in an international environment. What can I say about my internship at SOFEDI? To tell you the truth, I'm at a loss for words. Every time I think about my 10-week course, I feel privileged. I've learned so much, discovered so much and am so grateful.
My internship, even virtual, was very enriching. My local NGO is a passionate team, always striving to intervene in the interests of the vulnerable population (women, the disabled, neglected communities, etc.). Through the various tasks carried out, I was able to understand that they took their mandate to heart, and it was just as pleasing for me to be counted in such a solid team. I count myself lucky to have a local NGO like this!
This internship has been so enjoyable, and working with the NGO SOFEDI has also been very educational, I can now say that thanks to my experience, I have a huge amount of knowledge and experience, which would not only be a professional asset for me, but also a personal one.
