Valuable Internships

I am writing observations on my internship for an Oxfam staff based in Oxford and thought this web page could be of interest: What not Practice what we Preach?, http://www.bond.org.uk/networker/aug06/internships.htm. It is on unpaid internships with NGOs and mentions the medias as another sector where graduates are not on the same level playing field.

It is important not to forget that volunteering means different things according to the company, experience, working conditions... In my case, I was accommodated and got an allowance, per diems when I travelled and transport expenses reimbursed when on duty. It is crucial that interns get appropriate support, also mentally. Even more necessary, I imagine, when the internship takes place far from home.

It must be an uneasy work for you to write in double language. But Thanks for bringing us your real stories there!
