HELP International

HELP International is currently seeking summer interns in Hyderabad, India. We are specifically targeting Public Health students. We believe the rigorous curriculum will have prepared students to competently execute the duties and tasks required by our organization in the field. Their skills and knowledge will complement those offered by student participants who have already committed to volunteering and interning in Hyderabad, India. These students are from across the nation completing both their Bachelor's and Masters' in community and global health, dietetics, advertising, international relations, business, sociology, social work, and engineering, to name a few. Their skills will contribute to the successful execution of HELP projects and those executed in conjunction with Peace Corps, LEPRA Health, and many other international organizations. Interns will have the unique opportunity to coordinate volunteers, act as a liaison between the country directors, community partners and the executive office, and most importantly, spearhead and lead projects. Of course, this is also an excellent opportunity for the augmentation of cross-cultural understanding.

With my undergraduate degree in Public Health, a CHES Certified professional, and Masters Candidate, I am keen on recruiting student participants from our discipline in order to diversify our team. Several positions are open for our team in India, and they can be found at Idealist.org by searching for "HELP International" and India. I would be happy to have professors, professionals, and others included in this e-mail, distribute the internship descriptions to current students and relevant listservs. I am targeting organizations, professionals, professors, and programs whose seminars are relevant to our mission and programs and projects.

The mission of HELP International is to empower people to fight global poverty through sustainable, life-changing development programs, made possible by strategic alliances formed with local community organizations. HELP's core competencies are education, entrepreneurship/business and public health. This year, HELP India will be expanding and developing its programs to include agriculture and engineering.

Here is a link<http://www.idealist.org/view/internship/ZCcnJSw535sP/> to the relevant position open, but we encourage students from all disciplines to apply as there is a great need for interdisciplinary expertise here in India. Here is our organization's website: http://help-international.org/.

Volunteer opportunities are also available and we encourage students who are not selected as interns to volunteer and select the "entrepreneurial track" in order to gain leadership experience. India is just one of the countries in which HELP International operates. Volunteer opportunities and some internship opportunities are also available in Uganda, Peru, Nicaragua, Belize, Tanzania, Fiji, and Thailand. I am happy to pass along contact information for country directors of those programs if there are students interested. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I would be happy to answer emails, or Skype if there is enough interest.


Best,
