Estoy más que contenta de pasar 2 meses con la asociación Aldeas de Paz y de contribuir a algo bueno en la República Dominicana.
September 30, 2024by: LounaProgram: Social Multimedia Journalism InternshipALdeaz de Paz es una organización muy solidaria. Llevo 2 semanas en la fundación y desde el primer día me sentí muy cómoda. Llegué aquí sin hablar ni una palabra de español, pero dos semanas después, gracias al curso de Antonio y a fuerza de practicar, empiezo a entender y a relacionarme con los dominicanos. Aún así, me resulta más fácil hacerme entender en inglés. Es una gran ayuda que nuestros coordinadores hablen este idioma. En cuanto a mi trabajo aquí, el programa de periodismo multimedia es realmente interesante. Hay mucho que hacer y mucha libertad para proponer contenidos. El programa se centra sobre todo en la comunicación. Como estudiante de periodismo, me gustaría poder hacer más contenidos periodísticos que de comunicación. En general, Samaná es una ciudad muy agradable y nuestro alojamiento es muy bueno. Estoy más que contenta de pasar 2 meses con la asociación Aldeas de Paz y de contribuir a algo bueno en la República Dominicana.
I had a great time in the Dominican Republic, met wonderful people, and was able to see the work of a local NGO.
September 29, 2024by: ChantalProgram: NGO Management and AdministrationIt was a nice experience to see how a local NGO works. I got a good insight in what to take into consideration when new volunteers are coming or when there are problems with the colleagues or the projects. But during my time, I met many motivated people that are eager to improve the projects and want to work on the impact of the foundation. All in all, I had a great time in the Dominican republic, met wonderful people and was able to see the work of a local NGO with all its opportunities, challenges and thoughts that are behind it.
Fue un entretenido y apasionante semana!
September 28, 2024by: JoannaProgram: Youth Care & Community DevelopmentEsta semana fue mi primer semana aquí. Me quedé en a la vida y la rutina rápidamente, aunque esta mucho diferente a Inglaterra. El personal del Fundación fue fantástico al contarme sobre la cultura y la forma de vida aquí. Durante la semana, trabajé a la escuela y quise trabajando y jugando con los niños, y los conocí a medida que avanzaba la semana. ¡En general, fue en entretenido y apasionante semana!

I already started managing a small TV channel called HGO TV in my home city Oldenburg. The NGO management program was really just the next step to prepare myself for a career in Business Administration. I asked myself how I can combine useful work with my interest for hospitality and tourism, sailing boats, windsurfing, and water sports in general.

I was inspired to go abroad to learn and get to know a different culture. In my humble opinion, you can learn a lot while leaving your home country and getting to know the world.
