Cape Town is a gorgeous city and I have always wanted to visit the city.

I was looking for hands-on work related to anything law based.

It went far beyond what I expected. I am really glad that I had experience with my placement. Working at the organisation I did my internship in has been one of the most important experiences of my life. I learnt a variety of areas from Environmental Law to Forced Migration. I was very satisfied.

Decent amounts. The attorneys I shadowed gave me plenty of space to enjoy my time in Cape Town without being overbearing but did a good job of giving me work where I was kept busy and not bored.

Yes. I met with clients for pro-bono work and was given the responsibility of relaying information from my attorneys to the clients.

Yes. It forced me out of my comfort zone and made me develop many professional and interpersonal skills.

Yes. Interns at my host organization played a key role in the functioning of the NGO. Without us helping with clients, doing research, etc, things would have gone a lot slower for attorneys.

Hopefully yes. I hope will get a reference letter that accurately reflects the work I did here and that helps with my future career applications.

Bridging gaps was effective in getting me many internships to choose from and Lucie was a great help.

Helping secure me the best internship.

Bit expensive but worth it.

I wish I had done the Bootstrap program. However, I think as a foreigner I would not have obtained maybe the safest accommodation. Or an accommodation with students that I could spend time with.
