I went to Swaziland for 9 weeks, where I was able to see and experience a lot of the culture and population. At the various schools you get right into the living areas of the population. There you get a realistic picture. Now I know that what we have in the Netherlands and Europe is not at all self-evident. Beforehand, a lot had to be arranged and I had a busy period with school. So it felt to me as if I had a lot to do. The LGA checklist helped me a lot with that. The main goal of my project was to measure BMIs. I wanted to do this at various schools to compare them with each other. I wrote an advice on this, which I was also able to partly work out. One advice was a game for the children to make good and healthy choices, for which I made a game. I learned to be patient and to be flexible. This has made me very resilient. I realize more that you should never judge someone else's behavior and way of acting. I really liked the guidance of LGA, I was a bit stressed the period before I left because I had a lot of exams and I wanted to arrange everything. Not only my internship but also the vacation afterwards. Roel helped me really well with that and had a contact person for everything I wanted to do so that was really nice. I also liked the contact during my internship, it gave me the feeling that I had not been forgotten.

I was able to help LGA from the Netherlands for a while, I thought it was a very nice experience and a great collaboration. I was able to see up close how LGA has a personal approach and wants to help everyone as best as possible. If I ever go to Africa, I would definitely go with LGA!

Tanzania felt like coming home to me, I experienced the country and its people as wonderful. I found it very educational to do an internship in a developing country. Often you did not have all the products that you may be used to working with and through this experience you learn to practice your profession in a creative way with the materials and knowledge that you have. This has considerably strengthened my skills in solution-oriented work and my communication skills. The host was perfect! Friendly people and are open to teaching you new things. The accommodation was fine and provided with everything. Furthermore, the guidance of LGA was excellent, the communication was especially very nice, I received active, quick responses, so that I knew what to expect and everything went smoothly. I definitely recommend LGA, I have immediately forwarded you to a family friend who is looking for an internship.
