2018
Update August
Eager to start their internships in Switzerland, eight students from Namibia and Zambia landed at Zurich airport on August 1.
A report by Sabina Balmer.
They will do internships in Swiss companies from August to October and live in Swiss families. We hope that they will learn a lot during these three months for their future professional careers in Southern Africa. We also hope that there will be an enriching cultural exchange at their work places as well as in the host families. We thank all involved parties for their support: the host families, the company mentors and our sponsors.
