Doing something good
A lot of people don't understand the initiative and reasons for going into a foreign and strange country to help the people, but actually I think it's an impusle inhabited in all of us: the impulse of helping. I am now the third student coming to this nice company to enhance my knowledge of the chinese culture, and doing something good while doing so. As you go on to dive deeper in the chinese world, you will get to see a lot of people in need and evolve the deep wish to help them. I want to spread the message of this small, but enthusiastic NGO to the western society
Not the first
As I was not the first one to do good work in this nice strange country. There were people before me to spread the message, and there will be people coming to take my place when I have to leave back home. So our deepest wishes

This internship was, for me, the occasion to both have a professional experience and to work in this unique country that is China.
On the professional aspect, i could use what i learnt at the university and witness the practical aspect of my academic studies. I really got to experience the parameters of such job. For example, at the university, we don't realize that "in the real life" it takes time to work on a project from A to Z. We also understand why, what are the tools, etc.
On the cultural aspect, being an intern in CPAZ for 4 months was long enough to witness the business culture in China. How to do business is, of course, different in each province, still it was a good introduction. Thanks to the internship, you also get to know chinese culture in general.
So i must say that i came here having two goals (professional experience + chinese culture), that i reached.
Besides this rather academic aspects, staying 4 months in Zhuhai was a wonderful experience. Most of the foreign interns i met seemed to also enjoy their staying here and their job. I will try to keep in touch with CPAZ even if i live at the other end of the world (litterally), and another trip to China is definitively one of my projects.
