I have finally made at least one decision during this process: I will be staying in Dar es Salaam (the large city on the coast). All in all it seems like I would enjoy myself most there and my top two choices of NGO's to work with are located in Dar. So now I'm left with one more big decision: Who to do my internship with!
+ I am experienced with the whole water advocacy/sustainability type thing because of my own work with H2O Canada
+ For the kind of work I am thinking about going in to after university, this would probably look better on my resume
+ This option would probably be more challenging to a certain extent and I would probably also learn a lot of new things
+ I may be able to work in other regions as well
+ I am not sure what exactly I would be doing as an intern here but there are a wide range of activities I can think of, from paper work to hands on labor
HAVEN OF PEACE ACADEMY
+ I'll definitely be working with people I already know as two other girls have already decided to work here
+ I am pretty sure that I will have fun here no matter what, because I'll be working with kids and that's what I love to do
+ I may have a chance to explore the country here as well because HOPAC puts a lot of emphasis on learning outside the classroom (which I think is very cool!)
+ This will also give me teaching experience for my future career goals
+ The location is near the area of Karachi Beach, which may be a plus on my days off or after school
So, friends, what do you think? I kind of need to decide pretty soon! Also, if any of you happen to see cheap flights to Dar, let me know!
