I loved doing something related to my major in another country!
What I wish was different
I was the first intern, so we had lots of unknowns, but the expenditures were higher than expected.
Advice
Just go in with an open mind and ready to try something new!

Kindling Kiribati Intern
May - August 2019 • Tarawa, Kiribati
What I liked
This is truly the experience of a lifetime. You are on the ground interacting with people, teaching business concepts, giving out loans, evaluating and helping entrepreneurs one on one. You cannot find a better way to solidify and apply the knowledge you've learned in college.
What I wish was different
Communication was at times a little rough, it would've been better if we met more before we went, but it was their inaugural run.
Advice
It is best if you are super proactive and look for ways you can help people instead of just being open and waiting for people to ask for help.
