Three more of our students share their experiences from their internships:
Megan Morris:
"My internship at Ashirwaad Special School was a wonderful learning experience for me. I was able to help assist and tutor students with mental/physical disabilities, as well as observe and learn from the staff and students alike throughout my three weeks. My favorite part was being able to learn about Ashirwaad and similar organizations in the context of India, and compare it to American organizations who's efforts include serving the mentally and physically disabled. I think both sides have things to learn from each other. I was also incredibly blessed to get a more micro, personal experience with the organization as I was able to get to know and form relationships with the students. Each student was so unique and gifted in their own ways- I walked away from that school learning more from the students then what I attempted to teach them over those three weeks."

Amber Heckman:
"During my time at Roots Industries I observed people working in the marketing department and all of the responsibilities that they did on a daily basis. This is me learning about all of the different sale strategies Roots uses for it's products."

Lydia Phoenix:
"I spent the last three weeks at Stanes Higher Secondary
School, where I spent most of my time substitute teaching in elementary grade
classrooms. I loved being with the kids every day and teaching them anything
from adding money to crazy American children’s songs. When I wasn’t subbing I
had the chance to observe in classrooms and learn from experienced teachers.
Everyone was so welcoming and I thoroughly enjoyed my internship experience!"
