It is difficult to believe that I am almost done with my internship! I have to admit the novelty of being in the capital has definitely worn off especially with the temp hitting 100F plus! Update on the Work: I definitely think I enjoyed the first month more than month two and three. I think things have slowed down a little because many members of the … Continue reading Around the Potomac
Sadly, my amazing time at UNESCO Bangkok has come to an end, and as I reflected on my experiences, there are just so many wonderful moments, professionally, socially, and culturally to write about for my last blog. Continuing from my second blog, on July 11 and 12, I assisted my team, Non-Formal Education and Literacy, on a two-day workshop to launch an online course on lifelong … Continue reading Amazing Memories in Thailand
Greetings from Bangkok! It’s hard to believe that 9 weeks have already passed since my internship started. At the same time, I do feel that I’ve got used to life in Bangkok and I have a better understanding of where to eat good food and how to enjoy my spare time. I have 3 more weeks to go but my actual work days are much … Continue reading Sawadikap! Internship updates
While I love sharing my experience here at the OECD, I understand that each intern who comes here experiences things a bit differently. You’ll work on different projects, with different people, and on different teams. In order to give you a more comprehensive taste of intern experience here, I collected some data (woohoo!!!). I asked a few other interns from across the OECD to weigh … Continue reading Humans of the OECD
Time here in Addis has flown by and I’m coming up on my last week! My life in Ethiopia has proven a rewarding, and at times, a taxing experience. Perhaps I’ll write a personal reflection in a separate post, though I’ll be using this one to briefly share what I’ve been up to the last few weeks. Week 6 This work turned out to be … Continue reading Finishing Up
The end of my internship experience brings with it an odd and familiar sentiment. I simultaneously feel as if a) I literally just got here yesterday, and b) my current schedule/routine has been my normalforever. It’s a feeling I know well, but is maybe more concentrated given that this experience has been condensed into the confines of a summer. Mostly, however, as my final week Roatán rapidly … Continue reading So long, Roatán: Final Reflections
Hallo! As promised, I wanted to provide a snapshot of the projects I’ve been working on this summer!* *Note: We are trying to spread awareness about our projects and platforms in order to engage as many people as possible. For this reason, I’m openly sharing what we’ve been up to! Other organizations may have different policies about this. Something to keep in mind if you … Continue reading Projects & Platforms & Programmes, Oh my!
Thankfully, le ville chaleur has cooled down really quickly, and the temperature was very soon reinstated. As with any other experiences, last weeks of the internship were times of pressure and rush. But in very positive manner! I felt pressured to explore the city as much as possible to make sure I’m not missing out on cool experiences that Paris can provide. And therefore, I … Continue reading Adieu Paris!
Hello from rainy, cold and incredibly beautiful Cape Town! It is hard to believe that I have officially been in South Africa for a month. I feel I have done, learned and seen so many things in the past 30 days that I don’t know how a single blog post will cover everything! Let me start with a quick update on what I have been … Continue reading Cape Town, iKapa, Kaapstad
Two months down, one to go! This summer has gone by in a flash. I feel like I am just getting settled into my life and routine here and yet its already time to makes plans to come home! The OECD prefers longer stays here so my internship is just over 13 weeks. Most of the interns stay for 6 months. In talking with … Continue reading The Nitty Gritty
