Zita Chan
(Sociology/ Year 3)
Intern in Shaanxi Gender Development Solution, Xi'an, mainland China
Shaanxi Gender Development Solution
is an NGO based in Xi’an which provides
community services in the rural area within Shaanxi, focusing
on women and children development. By visiting various
villages with other social workers, I came to realize the current
situation of the rural areas in China. We organized a training
session with the villagers and taught them how to build up a
social organization. From these experiences, I observed that
the resources of the villagers were very limited. Also, something
that we regarded as “common sense” could be a brand new
concept to the villagers and I was quite astonished at such
difference. It made me realize the preciousness to have the
chance to go to school and gain knowledge. I am very grateful
for having such precious opportunity to explore Chinese rural
areas in a deeper perspective through this internship.
Charlotte Luk
(English/ Year 3)
Intern in Miaoli Community College, Taiwan
Internship at Miaoli Community College
in Taiwan offered me a new insight
on the issue of community development. My two-month
internship allowed me to learn about civil society and to
observe how this concept was put into practice. Various
projects were initiated by the college aiming to build up the
sense of belonging of the people in the local communities.
The most impressive and unforgettable experience was
the production of a printed booklet on our own. The content
of the booklet was about several individuals striving to
safeguard their wonderland, Haowanjiao in Miaoli, from
human pollution. I understood that it was not easy to strike
a balance among social, economic development and
environmental protection. I have learned a lot through such
experience. On the other hand, the sincerity and hospitality
of the local people made me fall in love with Taiwan and also
gave me a different perception towards life.
Apart from the social and community service industry, student interns under GIP2013 were also involved in many other
industries which include but not limited to
banking, culture, government administration, media and communications,
real estate, technology,
etc. If you are interested in spending an exceptional summer in 2014, please stay tuned for our
