Internship is one way a person can give back to the
community or any organisation and services that you offer are temporary. It’s
awesome as a young person viewing what a successful work place looks like and
getting to know its insight operations. It is so interesting to work with
elderly persons as one gets to learn etiquettes which are important in any
firm.
As a first KF student to be offered this prestigious
position, I feel honoured and great because through this work experience, I am
able to determine what I will do after graduating. From my experience, I think
this is my field because I enjoy what I do because it is in line with my Career
choice and that is why I want to pursue a degree in the School of Humanities
and Social Sciences.
As an Intern who is from the Kucetekela Foundation Programme,
I carry out responsibilities which require me to work closely with KF students
in both Schools. My duties include assigning posts to Alumni and Gap Year
Students, typing and posting to kfgapyear.blogspot.com, work with students to
complete each terms Newsletter, setting up of KF Alumni database and working
with Alumni to come up with ways they can contribute to KF, monitoring and
evaluation of the Peer Tutoring programme, teach Junior Pestalozzi Students,
attend staff meetings, work with the Kalikiliki Literacy Project and help to
analyse applications from the recruitment procedure.
This has given me a vast experience on how to conduct myself
in a work place. I have also grown intellectually and not only did it provide
me an opportunity to learn the insight operations of the organisation but has
given me the desire to come and work for Kucetekela Foundation and continue to
carry its mission and vision forward in order to develop the next generation
especially mother Zambia and the world at large.
At the moment, I am looking forward to tertiary education.
Thank you
Kucetekela Foundation for providing me with this Internship
position and for been with me up to this time.
