"I never expected the incredible opportunities that I was about to have while working at the Projects Abroad Human Rights Office (PAHRO). I learned more in my month of interning then I ever could have imagined. It was the first time in my life I felt like I was doing tangible work, and at the same time, I was actually touching the lives of people." Emily D, Law and Human Rights in South Africa

"Not only did I learn important skills regarding health screenings (taking blood pressure, blood sugar, body fat readings, and conducting nutrition counselling sessions), I was also able to put into practice what I already knew and teach the locals basic healthy living practices. It was extremely rewarding to hear the positive feedback and thanks during my last week. I truly felt as if I had made a difference in helping them lead a happier and healthier life! It has really fueled my passion for promoting healthy living, and I look forward to working within this industry in the future." Sarah S, Nutrition in Fiji
