| Project Attended: | International Development |
| Country Attended: | Swaziland |
| What task on your project did you most enjoy? | "As a business intern my main focus was supporting the host NGO. I worked closely with the project leads (community/sport and building programmes) to identify opportunity to attract more funding and for organisational efficiencies. I particularly enjoyed adding value to the NGO by working with the team to create a forward plan and strategy to compliment their vision and aspiration for growth. I also participated in some volunteer activity including the Homework Clubs and worked directly with 2 beneficiary groups (SME)." |
| What was your greatest achievement? | "To give business focus and support to the project." |
| Did you feel you made a difference? | "Yes, I am confident that the team on the ground will make effective use of the tools and techniques I introduced. This will help their organisation develop sustainably and reach more people in need." |
| What advice would you give future participants? | "Swaziland is a country of contrasts. Swazi people are optimistic and welcoming. Life around Lidwala Lodge seems rather nice - outside the gates of the beautiful accommodation is 70% population living in poverty, terrible rates of HIV infection and no schooling without paying beyond primary.....just a few headliners for the country. There are many more." |
