Global Conscience Initiative has trained and continue to train interns from all over the world. We received our first international intern in January 2007, and continue to receive interns from the USA, The UK, Canada, Switzerland, Scoitland, Denmark, France, etc. This summer we had ten international interns in our office.
Interns contribute a lot to the work of the Global Conscience Initiative that we are now looking for funding to accommodate interns and provide them a minimum stipend. Presently we offer international internship positions to interns who are able to pay US$ 300.00 per month and this amount covers accommodation and some basic logistics. Interns share a rented apartment.
